Leaders from government, business and investment sectors gathered in Leeds to champion collaboration, innovation and growth across the UK Innovation
“We’ve built it, now how do we get them to come?” was the title of the roundtable John McGill chaired
The UK Innovation Corridor convened the second in its Inward Investment Masterclass series last week, bringing public and private sector
The UK Innovation Corridor joins two of the country’s most productive cities, London and Cambridge, and hosts
clusters of hi-tech businesses in sectors such as life, health and data sciences, agrotech and advanced
manufacturing. The Corridor is on course to almost double the size of its economy, from £189 billion to £350 billion
by 2050. However, with an investment of just £30 billion over the next 15 years this target can be achieved by 2040.
A thriving economy with science and tech at its heart, actively promoting infrastructure and housing growth, makes the Corridor ideal for investment.
The Corridor joins two global cities, Cambridge and London, and is home to thriving, world-leading hi-tech hubs, supported by a consortium of public-private organisations.
