Innovation, Strategy and Entrepreneurship
Manchester was the pioneering centre for the study of innovation and today our world-leading academics build on this tradition of excellence and practical relevance that spans more than 55 years.

- We work closely with innovative companies, governments and agencies around the world, and with key international organisations such as the OECD, the EU, the UN, UNIDO and UNESCO
- Manchester is a major cluster for science-based, digital and creative industry innovators, and a test-bed for new innovation policies
