Sharing an insightful whitepaper by MIDAS Manchester's Inward Investment Agency & Omdia - Green Finance: The Greater Manchester Opportunity. It's been a pleasure to support your work, and this report. As our Northern Director Andrew Ruffler stated: "We selected Manchester for the first phase of our UK expansion due to its emerging climate tech scene [...]. Greater Manchester brings a unique blend of devolved authority, established public and private sector collaboration, and impressive higher education assets, for example, Salford’s Energy House 2.0. The support we have received from the city region since landing in February 2024 has been phenomenal, having been welcomed by the private, public and academic communities alike." https://lnkd.in/e-cid6sT
