The Civil Nuclear Sharing in Growth programme (CNSIG) aims to develop the UK manufacturing supply chain for civil nuclear – in new build, operations and decommissioning – and help UK companies win work in the nuclear industry at home and overseas. CNSIG is part-funded by government through the Regional Growth Fund and supported by industry leaders including Rolls-Royce. Hearing from the horse's mouth the changes that the businesses have already seen - taking cost out of the business, helping win major contracts and introducing new quality standards.

Participating companies receive a four-year programme of business development and training worth £1 million, tailored to the specific needs of their business.
