About Manchester

Software Development for Manchester's Digital & Media Economy

Manchester is the powerhouse of the North and the UK's second-largest digital-tech economy. The Northern Powerhouse initiative has channelled billions into infrastructure, while MediaCityUK at Salford Quays has created one of Europe's largest media clusters outside London. The Corridor Manchester innovation district stretches from the universities into the city centre, linking academic research to commercial enterprise. Major employers like Booking.com, Amazon, and Auto Trader have established large engineering offices, and the city's thriving startup scene is supported by accelerators such as Manchester Tech Trust and The Landing. Manchester Science Park and the Sharp Project provide specialist facilities for deep-tech and creative-tech ventures respectively.
