Build your case for funding. Shape your regional economy.
Universities are expected to lead – but not told how. That’s your opportunity.
We’re inviting a small group of ambitious universities to pilot a new approach: the University Industrial Strategy (UIS). This isn’t another glossy PDF or economic impact study. It’s a practical, real-time roadmap built in partnership with The Data City, Metro Dynamics, and Favier Ltd – three organisations shaping the way policy, investment and influence happen in the innovation economy.
Together, we’ll help you:
- Map your economic footprint and sector connections
- Align institutional strengths with IS8 sectors and regional priorities
- Secure public and private investment through targeted advocacy
What’s included:
-
Access to The Data City’s Industry Engine – the UK’s only real-time company data platform
-
Strategic support from Metro Dynamics to define and evidence your university’s role in regional innovation
-
Influence and advocacy expertise from Favier Ltd, to engage stakeholders and win funding
-
An annual snapshot report on your institution’s economic impact
-
Tailored workshops to shape investable propositions and identify innovation-led growth opportunities
