Established to support the growth of the high-tech cluster and attract investment to the region, the STC is a not-for-profit organisation. The group of high-tech engineering companies within a one-hour radius of Silverstone has been backed by the UK Government and highlights a market of untapped potential. Its growth will strengthen the UK’s position as a world-leading knowledge economy.
The Silverstone Technology Cluster was launched in December 2016 to actively develop technology and encourage innovation for the future. Part of its agenda is also to attract investment from companies with high growth ambitions into the region. Silverstone is currently home to around 75 engineering businesses, with around 4,000 precision engineering firms within a one hour drive of Silverstone Park.
Dave Smith, UK key account manager at Bowers Group said: “Becoming members of the STC will put Bowers Group in an excellent position. We’ll be well and truly on the map amongst the vast range of companies and industries working in the region, and it will enable us to assist further with varying metrology needs in all areas of industry.
As part of this membership, Bowers Group has also been invited to join the Silverstone Metrology Special Interest Group (SIG).The aim of the group is to help accelerate technological development through metrology, leading to a rise in awareness, collaboration, and the sharing of best practice. Other members of the SIG include Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence, Bentley Cars and Jaguar Land Rover.
