For [Come for Manchester to be at the heart of UK Tech Innovation]

THE WORLD in general tends to think of Manchester and the Midlands as having a heavy industry base and I think it is time to change that outlook. This might have been the case 40 or 50 years ago, but in the past two decades Manchester has been going through a massive renaissance. Visitors to the city are taken aback by the transformation it has been through, especially in sectors such as the Cloud. But technology is fluid and businesses need to re-invent themselves at least every three years. There is no sitting back on past glories in our industry. It??s all about constant reinvention and innovation, while investment in young talent is the essential fuel for that transformation and growth.
