Advancing Innovative Manufacturing in the South of Scotland (AIMS)

The AIMS project was originally funded to June 2023 via the Advanced Manufacturing Challenge Fund and brought together partners across the South of Scotland including both local authorities, both regional colleges and the South of Scotland Enterprise. 

Advancing Innovative Manufacturing project

AIMS supports SMEs who have ideas for new products, but don’t have the physical and/or technical capacity to develop, test and commercialise them. At Borders College we have access to a number of new technologies including scanners, cobots and 3D printers to support businesses to test and develop their ideas. 

Borders College is delighted to have achieved funding via the UK Government Shared Prosperity Fund to continue this project.
