Corridor Manchester has a distinctive part to play in the

a magnet for students and researchers from around the

world.

• Home to an exceptional base of innovators – people and

companies and is one of the few true innovation districts

in the UK.

• An increasingly diverse economy, from large companies

and institutions to new start-ups and entrepreneurs.

•At the heart of health devolution

A decade of opportunity

By 2025, Corridor Manchester will be Manchester's

cosmopolitan hub and world-class innovation district, where talented people from the city and across the world

learn, create, work, socialise, live and do business; contributing to the economic and social dynamism of one of

Europe's leading cities.”
