Innovation eco-system
The North West Cyber Corridor is home to a nationally unique thriving and growing super cluster. We host the third largest cyber cluster in the UK (beyond London and the South East), the fourth largest aerospace cluster globally, the fastest growing digital and tech sector in Europe, and we are the heart of the UK's defence and security sector and the only region nationally to host all stages of the nuclear lifecycle.
The North West Cyber Corridor Innovation Impact Study Evidence Base 2023
Perspective Economics was commissioned by Lancaster University (in collaboration with Plexal) to support the development of an evidence base and strategic outline for the North West Cyber Corridor project.
This study covers the region of the North West of England and explores the assets, initiatives, and potential of the North West Cyber Corridor ecosystem.
