AMRC launches scale-up programme for high-growth defence, aerospace and energy companies

AMRC Scale-up is built for Series A and later-stage companies with established market traction that are preparing for scaled production.

Unlike early-stage accelerators, the programme focuses on companies moving toward industrial production rather than product validation. Through structured technical sprint engagements with AMRC engineers, participating companies will:

• Validate production systems capable of industrial scale
• Strengthen supply chain and certification readiness
• Embed manufacturability into growth and investment strategy

Matt Farnsworth, commercial director at the AMRC, said: "The UK has never lacked innovation, but the challenge has always been anchoring that brilliance into long-term industrial growth. AMRC Scale-up provides the technical runway for the UK's most promising deep tech companies to bridge the gap between prototype and global supply chain.

"This is about more than growth; it's about securing sovereign capability in the sectors that will define the next century."

The programme is based in South Yorkshire and will operate within the High Value Manufacturing Catapult network.
