Congratulations to West Coast Sixth Form, based at Workington Academy, the winners of this year’s iSH and RAICo Robotics Sprint Challenge.

Over the past six weeks, students have been working hard to design, build and programme a small robot to take on a mock, real-world nuclear challenge, safely moving hazardous waste from a retrieval zone to a disposal zone.

The Sprint allows students to work collaboratively, build practical STEM skills, and experience the fast-paced, innovative environments that define careers in robotics, AI and engineering.

An equal well done to teams from West Lakes Academy and Energy Coast UTC, who also took part.

We were also pleased to welcome industry representatives from Createc, Amentum, VizFX, CORE Nuclear Solutions and React Engineering, who joined us to see the challenges in action and meet the next generation of talent.

This initiative forms part of our wider commitment to developing future talent and supporting long-term investment in Cumbria’s people and economy.

That’s a wrap on our DNWP Market Engagement event.

A big thank you to all of today’s speakers, exhibitors and delegates who made it such a valuable and engaging day at Energus.

From the morning sessions with DNWP partners and Sellafield leaders, to this afternoon’s SME presentations and Meet the Seller appointments, it’s been great to see so much activity centred around innovation, collaboration and future opportunities.

With more than 45 exhibitors, 300+ delegates and a strong line-up of SME capability showcases, today has been a brilliant example of the strength and potential within our local supply chain.

And most importantly, it has been encouraging to see DNWP partners actively opening the door for new ideas, novel techniques and fresh thinking, creating real opportunities for Cumbrian businesses.

Our DNWP Market Engagement event has been a great success so far.

It has been encouraging to see DNWP partners inviting the supply chain to come forward with innovative solutions and novel techniques; an exciting opportunity for iSH Cluster members.

This afternoon’s sessions revolve around SME presentations and our Meet the Seller appointments, giving supply chain SMEs an excellent opportunity to showcase their capabilities and explore specific solutions.
