Explore global AI in manufacturing opportunities
Innovate UK is inviting ambitious businesses working in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) enhanced manufacturing to take part in their Global Business Innovation Programme (GBIP) to help them grow in the US market.
They welcome applications from both new and established innovative technology providers who have the capability to deliver digital manufacturing solutions in specific technology areas. These include digital technologies that have clear links to AI within manufacturing, such as
- data acquisition, presentation, and pattern finding
- generative AI, including Large Language Models
- AI agents and agentic AI, including autonomous decision making
- technologies related to the future trajectory of artificial intelligence
Additionally, they are interested in other transferable learning opportunities that can be applied from non-manufacturing environments to manufacturing settings.
This GBIP will provide a unique opportunity to find partners and identify opportunities for technology and innovation collaboration. Participants will benefit from bespoke support from an innovation and growth specialist to leverage the contacts, opportunities and knowledge gained, and to support the growth journey of the business.
If you’re interested in finding out more about the programme, Innovate UK are hosting an applicant briefing at 4pm on Thursday 16 October 2025.
Alternatively, more information is available on the Innovate UK Business Connect website.
