Last week we had a talk from Corridor Manchester. The Corridor is a foundation that aims to bring in more economic growth for Manchester by linking together the universities, city council and NHS university hospitals. The Corridor is also starting a regeneration program that should be completed in 2020, this regeneration is also part of the aim to increase the economic growth of the city.
- Today the Corridor generates £3.2 billion, 25% of the city’s GVA.
- 55 000 people work on the Corridor, 12 % of the city’s workforce.
- 43% of the activity is in knowledge intensive sectors, significantly higher than the national (22%) and regional (21%) averages.
