New insights from our Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Kath Mackay, on Forbes! Manchester Digital's Manifesto for the Northern Tech Economy showcases the region's rise as Europe's fastest-growing tech hub outside London. But investment disparities with the Golden Triangle remain. So what's the key to bridging the gap? Here's some of our key takeaways: 🔹 Northern and Midlands-based innovators often miss out on critical investment. 🔹 Only Manchester ranks in the top five for spinouts outside the Golden Triangle. 🔹 Collaborative initiatives, like Northern Gritstone, are paving the way for regional funding success. Unlocking regional capital and fostering innovation clusters are crucial next steps. Together, we can drive the UK to its full potential as a global tech powerhouse.

That’s how you prepare for the future! 👏👏👏 Ever feel like the tech world is moving at warp speed? You're not alone. Companies and educational institutions face a common challenge: On one side, companies must integrate these new technologies into their operations to stay competitive, requiring either the training of current staff or hiring new talent with the necessary skills. On the other side, schools need to stay up to date with technological trends, so they can provide relevant programs to meet the needs of the workforce and their employers. So, how do we tackle this? Simple: Vision and collaboration. And that’s exactly what happened in Surrey, BC. The recent inauguration of the Surrey Technology & Skills Centre is a testament to this. This incredible initiative is the result of a strategic partnership between the Surrey Board of Trade and Western Community College. But, what is it? This isn't your average office space.
