About
The University of Sheffield awarded a contract to SYMCA for the development of an Investment Playbook in collaboration with New Localism Associates.

The engagement with Greater St.
Louis, Inc.
led to the creation of the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Centre (AMIC), inspired by Sheffield's model, which won the 2021 Build Back Better Regional Challenge.
The contract value is £100,000.
