Puntios Make and Scale Day

Overview

The Henry Royce Institute is pleased to host the Punitos Make and Scale Day, an event for advanced materials start-ups focused on the practical realities of scaling: manufacturing partners, cost, and the plan investors want to see.

Delivered by Puntios and hosted at the Royce Hub Building in Manchester, the day will bring together early-stage materials businesses, manufacturing partners and innovation experts to explore how start-ups can move from lab-stage development towards first customers, manufacturing readiness and investment.

The programme will cover key areas including design for manufacture, techno-economic analysis, manufacturing partnerships, value chain positioning, regulatory and quality considerations, and how to build a credible scale-up plan. Participants will also have the opportunity to hear from manufacturing partners and take part in structured networking to explore potential commercial relationships.

Royce’s Head of Research and Business Engagement, Dr Ania Jolly, will contribute to the programme, providing a Royce perspective on the UK advanced materials innovation landscape and the role of national research infrastructure in supporting materials businesses to scale. Her session will also help connect the discussion to wider Royce activities and initiatives supporting translation, collaboration and business engagement across the advanced materials community.

Who should attend?

This event is particularly relevant for advanced materials start-ups, university spinouts, early-stage technology companies, manufacturing partners, investors and organisations supporting materials commercialisation.
