The cotton industries extraordinary growth drove the town's expansion and put it at the heart of a global network of manufacturing and trade. Manchester has always been synonymous with science. It was here that Rutherford first split the atom, it was here that the first test-tube baby was born, and it was here that Geim and Novoselov, winners of the Nobel Prize, discovered the new wonder material graphene. Now Manchester is leading the way in sectors including smart textiles, digital health, and quantum dot technology. The underlying vision for Manchester is to be a Top 20 global city by 2035. In the last 10 years, Manchester has achieved more growth in its office market than any other regional city – 3.7m sqft of new build and major refurbishment. Manchester is commonly known as England’s second city. Once a powerhouse of industry, it is now a major cultural hub, famous for its many fantastic nightclubs, extensive libraries, and glorious sporting history. The city’s skyline is the perfect representation of the atmosphere, with modern structures enlivening historical streets.       Don't miss the Futurenauts on 16 June Join us at our last conference discussion, where Futurenauts Ed Gillespie and Mark Stevenson will explore the live and ongoing mass experiment we are all engaged in regarding the future of work. Beyond the soundbites of ‘building back better’ and ‘levelling up’ something seismic is stirring…the tremors have only just begun.
