February 2024 – Driving economic growth by helping small and medium-sized enterprises start, grow and flourish

In this month’s episode we’re looking at the ways Manchester Met drives economic growth. It’s our 200-year anniversary and we’re celebrating two centuries of supporting innovation and progress through excellent education and research.

Key to that is boosting skills, increasing employability, and supporting wider prosperity by helping businesses get off the ground, and thrive.

We discover how a Manchester Met graduate’s fabulous new fashion business has been helped by our start-up incubator Innospace.

And, we speak to experts from the University’s Centre for Enterprise following a new report published this year showing how it has supported more than 2,000 businesses, boosting economic growth in the region, and creating jobs, new products and services.
