The Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Centre (AMIC) is an industry‑led, open‑access innovation centre designed to elevate Northern Ireland’s manufacturing sector by providing cutting‑edge facilities, expert engineering support, and collaborative research opportunities. Opening this year, its Factory of the Future will be a state‑of‑the‑art hub for smart automation, digital manufacturing, sustainable materials, nanotechnology, photonics, and advanced composites.
The project will use this exciting facility to deliver a free, four-day programme of AMIC Discovery Days for local pupils aged 12-17, offering hands‑on stations, real‑world challenges, mentoring from AMIC engineers, and a final Celebration Event. Prioritising diversity and accessibility, the project aims to tackle misconceptions about engineering and inspire young people across Northern Ireland.
