Engaging with industry, government and other partners to address challenges from a radio spectrum axis is key to the National Spectrum Centre’s vision. Indeed, the project stems from close collaboration and engagement with industry partners, responding to identified needs at a time of rapid technological change. The Welsh Government provided funding to refurbish the University’s Lord Milford building at Gogerddan as a central hub for the Centre. The project also aligns with regional, Welsh and UK government priorities in terms of harnessing innovation to drive economic growth.
