The Made Smarter Marketplace is an innovative online system, supported by the Institute for Innovative Materials, Processing and Numerical Technologies (IMPACT) and a range of technology partners including Autodesk, The MTC, WMG, PXL-ICE, CARDARN and Carapace; which enables suppliers to register their products and services and become part of an approved network.  The marketplace will provide more transparency in the supply chain process with improved response times and accurately priced goods/service - providing reassurance on quality, cost and certainty. 

Through better connected manufacturers and suppliers, companies can begin to see products brought to market at a quicker and more efficient rate. A new face mask company, MyMaskFit, has been working with IMPACT on manufacturing, testing and bringing to market custom-fit face masks.  The company are the first to trial the platform and are now about to enter the first stages of production.

Powered by the Tech2B platform, the Marketplace allows businesses to find new partners, generate opportunities and manage supply-chain operations centrally.
