Sectors

GAMBICA is the UK Trade Association for Instrumentation, Control, Automation and Laboratory Technology in the UK and as such our interests span almost all primary, secondary and advanced manufacturing industries as well as academic and health sectors. 

A significant number of activities and issues affect all GAMBICA member industries and are termed 'Cross Sector Activities' and often include areas such as influencing Government policy and lobbying, influencing standards and legislation, and maintaining a clear view of UK and Global macroeconomic trends.
