Manchester was recently announced as the UK's leading AI hub outside of London, with a sector valuation of $4.7billion.

Greater Manchester has attracted almost $1bn in cumulative AI investment since 2010 and is now home to 13,500 AI professionals

The city region has also topped the SAS AI Cities Index for the second consecutive year as the UK’s most AI-ready city outside London and has been chosen to host the Global Government Forum’s first Global AI Cities Conference, in testament to the strength of the growing sector.


Alice Spreckley, MD of Naimuri, commented on the latest news:
