An exciting opportunity has opened up for Greater Manchester’s digital and creative businesses to inform vital research and innovation with Prolific North and Manchester Metropolitan University.
The digital publisher and university are partnering on a project which will bring together businesses of varying sizes in Greater Manchester for a large-scale conversation about innovation and productivity.
It’s in response to evidence suggesting that while the region’s creative, digital and tech sector is the fastest-growing outside London, its productivity is lower than the national average. Greater Manchester has the third highest number of creative and digital businesses in the UK – making it essential to close the productivity gap.
We’re looking for businesses interested in developing and using new technologies, as well as those already adopting them, to have their say. Those businesses will be invited to be part of an important innovation project with opportunities for all involved.
Research roundtables
We’ll be hosting a selection of roundtables to inform the research – bringing together business figures from Greater Manchester to find out what they require to push innovation further than ever. They’ll get the unmissable chance to contribute to the conversation on how investment could be allocated in Greater Manchester to ensure regional economic growth and productivity in the region.
The one-hour roundtables are taking place on October 21st and 22nd, hosted virtually. These exclusive sessions will give you a chance to contribute to this vital conversation about productivity and innovation in Greater Manchester. Places are limited at these events, so please sign up for your chance to attend here.
We’re particularly interested in hearing from Greater Manchester businesses active in Technology & Creative Technology (video, animation, AR and VR), Online Retailing, Advertising, Traditional Retail, and Commercial & Retail Property.
