Why Innovate in Lancashire?
Lancashire itself is home to leading global businesses at the cutting edge of innovation in advanced manufacturing, supported by a supply chain cluster of high-tech small and medium-size enterprises. The county’s longstanding strengths in aerospace, automotive, and energy industries sit alongside emerging strengths in sectors such as digital and applied healthcare. Our globally recognised universities and further education providers, working closely with National Centres of research excellence and knowledge transfer partnerships, our pre-eminence in deep thinking, track record in developing new solutions to the world’s ever-changing challenges, give us crucial competitive advantages.
