World-Class Academic Partnerships
Swansea is home to two research-driven universities that are instrumental in supporting innovation in advanced engineering and manufacturing.
Swansea University’s Bay Campus is a hub for collaborative R&D in Advanced Engineering, the Digital Economy, and Low Carbon Technologies. It has worked on major partnerships with industry leaders such as Rolls Royce and TATA Steel, supporting applied innovation at scale.
University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD) contributes through its MADE Cymru initiative, which delivers R&D expertise and cutting-edge training in disruptive manufacturing technologies. Over 300 students and industry professionals have already upskilled through the programme, helping businesses adapt to the future of advanced production.
