London's Centre for Engineering and Manufacturing Excellence (CEME) is located in Dagenham and was created in partnership with Ford.
The CEME will drive local business, increase the value of the local economy and promote exemplary manufacturing methods. It will also provide local skills training.
The development includes a conference centre accommodating 300 people, a learning resource centre, a creche, retail shops and office space, plus a satellite facility housing 45 start-up companies.
