The North East is primed to bolster its reputation as an “advanced manufacturing powerhouse” through an £86 billion Government investment plan, a regeneration boss has claimed.
North East mayor Kim McGuinness says the blueprint will help the region catalyse fresh developments across the automotive, green energy, space and technology sectors.
The call comes after Downing Street unveiled science and technology proposals promising to “turbocharge the economy”.
