Notice Title

Research into Emerging Technologies in Greater Manchester

Notice Description

This commission consists two distinct project packages, for which we are seeking one provider to deliver both. Project Package A: Understanding and harnessing GM's emerging technology advantage. 1. An overview of the market Context & Opportunities 2. A study detailing and benchmarking: o Greater Manchester's university capabilities in relation to a range of predetermined key emerging technologies o Key emerging technology specialisms and expertise that exist within industry in Greater Manchester o Greater Manchester's other skills and infrastructure capabilities in relation to same emerging technologies 3. Marketing collateral for the GM emerging technology proposition: The creation of market ready proposition materials and narrative re Greater Manchester's emerging technology capabilities aimed at attracting potential inward investors into Greater Manchester Project Package B: Understanding and engaging the opportunity presented by the DIGITAL transformation of 'non-technology' companies. 1. A report detailing GM investment opportunity presented through the digital transformation of large non-technology companies (e.g. OEM manufacturers, banks etc). The study should provide an overview of market trends, the scale of the opportunity, and a defined target list of 100 organisations which have the potential to locate or expand some, or all of their technology functions into Greater Manchester. 2. Further to the above, a validated short-list of 40 named priority strategic targets companies to be identified with justification for their inclusion. From this short-list, the provider should provide engagement support with senior decision makers within at least 40 of the target companies. This may be in the form of 1:1 meetings or round table events. While there is a degree of interdependence between the two project packages, the intent would be that as far as possible, the project packages should run concurrently to accelerate delivery of outputs.
