Notice Description

GMCA seeks a research company to develop and deliver a report over a 4 - 5 month period producing a more detailed understanding of the particular sub-sectors and niches in GM's advanced manufacturing base, going beyond Standard Industry Classification (SIC) code definitions, as well as an assessment of the routes for accelerating rate of innovation among these companies - including how to drive demand across for the commercialisation of advanced materials, and industry engagement in translational research and development activities with Universities and other innovation agencies.
