We have started construction the factory of the future, the #AdvancedManufacturing Innovation Centre.
It will open in 2026 and will create up to 1,500 jobs and train 300 apprentices by 2050.
Last week, we were joined on a site visit by @USEnvoyNI for Economic Affairs, @joekennedy, Mayor of @ANBorough, Neil Kelly, and representatives from industry, government and academia.
“It is critically important, not just for the innovation that this site is going to help incubate and produce, but for the long-term economic development of this entire region.
“Manufacturing obviously has a long history in Northern Ireland. This next generation of manufacturing is going to power the world innovation and create solutions to problems that we don't know how to solve yet.
It’s incredibly exciting for me to see the work that is being done on the site, and to know that the future of Northern Ireland is connected to its past and looks incredibly bright and prosperous going forward.” (@USEnvoyNI for Economic Affairs, @joekennedy III).

Single use packaging is commonly misunderstood and seen to be of little intrinsic value which often leads to its careless disposal and littering. However, well-designed packaging plays an important role in minimising the carbon footprint of our food.
