Strategic Vision
(pdf 600k)The organisations that make up Corridor Manchester are:
The University of Manchester, one of the country’s top four research universities and a leading teaching institution. World-class academics lead research programmes in a range of fields. This research has produced many of the high value businesses located in the Corridor, as well as having a wider impact on the performance of companies across the region and the UK.
Manchester Metropolitan University is one of the largest and most popular universities in the UK and our contribution to local industry takes many forms; providing continuing professional development courses, working with businesses and providing work-ready graduates with the skills and expertise that will add value to your business. MMU is also one of the top performing new universities in the UK in terms of its research profile. Our work shapes business and professional practice and influences policy-making, both nationally and internationally.
Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, a leading research and teaching hospital committed to being at the cutting edge of innovation within the NHS. Working with The University of Manchester, the Trust is at the heart of a strong and successful bio-medical cluster in the Corridor. The Manchester Academic Health Sciences Centre reflects this shared ambition and lays the foundation of an exciting future.
Manchester City Council. Manchester is an original and modern city with a tradition of entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation, and a thriving, knowledge-based economy. Today, Manchester is the largest and fastest growing economy outside London.
The Corridor is also home to Manchester Science Park, an organisation that nurtures and supports the development of high value businesses. Many have spun out from The University of Manchester and are at the cutting edge of bio health and digital technology. The park has the potential to double in size over the next ten years. What follows is a story about how you might design one such version control system (VCS) and the reasoning behind those design choices.
Corridor Manchester is supported by the Northwest Regional Development Agency
