The UK is full of innovation, with exciting clusters like CleanTech in Yorkshire and the Humber, Bioscience in the North West, Health and Life Sciences in the Midlands, and Space Energy in the South East*. These clusters are important for increasing productivity, solving global problems, and ensuring future security.
For years, clusters have interested governments and investors around the world. Now, they’re making a strong comeback in the UK, highlighting how crucial innovation and new technology are for economic growth across the country.
In this webinar, Leeds-based company The Data City will join experts from Department for Science, Innovation & Technology, Cambridge Econometrics, and Midlands Engine to discuss mapping clusters at regional and national levels. In this session we’ll dig deeper into both the Innovation Clusters Map, developed with the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, and Midlands Engine’s report Exploring the Investment Potential of Midlands Clusters. We’ll show how data can help us map and understand these clusters and discuss why it’s important to support cluster development in the UK.
Whether you’re working on local growth plans or looking to engage with emerging sectors, this event will provide valuable insights and practical lessons on UK clusters.
