Manchester Digital were delighted to welcome Feryal Clark, Minister for AI and Digital Government, to the Tech Incubator yesterday for an insightful and productive visit.
During the visit, we discussed some of the key challenges and opportunities facing the tech sector, including driving AI adoption across the regions and simplifying procurement for tech SMEs and startups. It was incredibly encouraging to see such enthusiasm from government on these important issues, which have the potential to unlock significant growth and innovation for businesses in the North.
We were also proud to introduce Feryal to a selection of Greater Manchester's most innovative AI startups and SMEs, including Peak, CloudGuard, Voxelo.ai, MolMart, Vulse and zally®. These businesses are at the forefront of AI development, demonstrating how cutting-edge technology is being applied to solve real-world challenges. A big thank you to everyone who joined us to share their work and showcase the strength of our region’s tech ecosystem.
Strong links between central government and the regions are crucial for ensuring that policy decisions genuinely support businesses on the ground. We look forward to continuing to work with the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology to advocate for our members and strengthen the tech ecosystem across the North.
This visit reinforces Manchester Digital’s role in driving conversations that shape the future of the tech sector, ensuring that businesses in Greater Manchester and beyond have the support they need to thrive.
