In some cases, different people from within the same organisation responded, e.g. academics working in different departments of the same university. In addition, two anonymous responses were received.

By harnessing our scientific research and innovation strengths we will address market failures and market needs, creating a self- sustaining, long-term approach to delivering productivity growth for the region. We will create a system that bridges the ‘readiness’ gap that traditionally exists between concept- proven research and commercial financial investment. We will generate the conditions necessary to build confidence for that investment, accelerating the adoption of technology by industry, and thereby begin a cycle of continual growth for the Midlands Engine region. B.2 We believe we are well placed to deliver this vision based on the strong academic research and translational research capability in the Midlands Region, drawing on the strengths of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult and the independent research and technology organisations based in the Midlands Engine region.

The workshop focused on the Advanced Manufacturing Theme of the ME SIA. The purpose of the workshop was to engage a broad base of partners in the SIA process and capture their perspectives on the priority strengths, opportunities and gaps in the ME science and innovation offer, focusing specifically within the advanced manufacturing thematic area. This short note provides a summary of the key discussion points from the day. Feedback on Thematic strengths, opportunities and gaps D.2 As a core part of the workshop, three break-out groups were asked to answer three questions: Q1: Within the Theme, what are the Top 3 current science and innovation strengths, in terms of capabilities or sub-sector specialisms, in the Midlands Engine? Q2: In light of market and technology changes in the Theme, what are the Top 3 potential science and innovation strengths, in terms of capabilities or sub-sector specialisms, in the Midlands Engine? Q3: What do you think are the Top 3 gaps or weaknesses in the ‘innovation ecosystems’ in the Midlands Engine that need to be addressed over the next 5 years? Table 1 over the page presents a summary of the key feedback from each of the break- out groups. D.3 Further to this Theme-specific feedback, it is also important to note that stakeholders at the workshop stressed the importance of ensuring that linkages/synergies between the six Themes of the SIA are identified and recognised fully whilst work progresses to develop the SIA. The need for a consistent focus on identifying those priorities that will drive productivity growth and create high value jobs was also noted. 13 Science and Innovation Audit Volume 2: Supporting Annexes Table 1: Summary of feedback from the three break-out groups Q1.
