The project is being led by Turkey’s Ministry of Science, Industry & Technology with endorsements from the Ministries of Defence, Transportation and Energy.
 
The AMTC is designed to help develop advanced core industrial capabilities and act as a public-private partnership focusing on manufacturing capability development and technology application development in aerospace.
 
“The AMTC will be an integral part of our strategy to establish a global network of Advanced Manufacturing Research Centres. These centres operate a novel model of academic and industrial collaboration that is designed to accelerate the transfer of innovation from early university research to successful exploitation in industry,” said director of global manufacturing for Rolls-Royce Dr. Hamid Mughal.
 
The AMTC is looking for both international and Turkish companies to join the project as members in its new state of the art facility.
