Now in its second year, the Greater Lincolnshire Engineering And Manufacturing (GLEAM) Network, formally known as GLMN, is an initiative founded by the School of Engineering, Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership (GLLEP), and Business Lincolnshire.
The GLLEP Manufacturing Strategy identified greater alignment between the manufacturing sector, the University of Lincoln, and the wider community. The GLEAM Network aims to all of these together to solve sector-wide challenges and establish a community for our region's manufacturing businesses to connect.
Having already delivered a range of successful virtual events, the network works to support the growth and development of SMEs and large organisations by promoting best practice, innovative solutions, partnership opportunities, and showcase technological advances, cutting-edge thinking, and act as a knowledge-transfer vehicle between academia and industry.
