We will further develop strong relationships between regional academic institutions and industry. The West Midlands has some of the strongest examples of vocational education in the country through organisations such as Dudley College and the School of Architecture and the Built Environment at Wolverhampton University.
The region's strong manufacturing research and development network such as The National Brownfield Institute (NBI), the Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) at Warwick University, the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) will support delivery. Homes for the Future will create an improved data and evidential base from which both WMCA and its regional partners can utilise to continue to build upon best practice.
