Manufacturing Month, the flagship initiative in Northern Ireland’s business and economic calendar, returns throughout May with an ambitious programme designed to celebrate, support, and challenge the manufacturing sector.

Led by Manufacturing NI and supported by the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Centre (AMIC), Barclays, KPMG, Mills Selig, Reliance Automation, Vickerstock, and Carbonfit, the month-long campaign will showcase the strength, innovation, and leadership that have positioned the region’s manufacturing base as a global success story.

Throughout the month, businesses, policy-makers, educators, and industry stakeholders will come together to highlight the sector’s vital contribution to the economy and society.

The 2026 programme (www.manufacturingmonthni.com) will culminate in the sector’s premier leadership forum, the Anchor High Leadership Summit on Thursday May 28, followed by the Manufacturing NI Hall of Fame Awards, recognising exceptional leaders who have made a lasting contribution to Northern Ireland’s industrial landscape.
