The UK’s railways are a billion-pound critical infrastructure set to receive a ‘once-in a generation’ level of investment over the next few years.
SMEs wishing to take advantage of this support, whether already involved in rail manufacture, innovation & new product development (NPD), or seeking to diversify into rail, will benefit from gaining a valuable insight into the opportunities for developing products and services into the railway supply chain.
To support companies in the Black Country and wider West Midlands with the development of rail products and services, from concept to full realisation and deployment, BCIMO, together with partner organisations, has developed a two-day Fast Track for Rail Innovation programme*.
