Err hello brilliant panel 🤩

@IsobellePanton doing such an amazing job of chairing the @UA92MCR discussion tonight 👏🏽

Such an explicit focus on blending the best of academia and industry is great to see (and very @TICMcr -y!) and love the dedication to socio-economic inclusion

[Elizabeth Scott MBE 🐝 @LizzyCScott]

At the launch of the new @UA92MCR business school and its fab to hear @MayorofGM talking about the importance of line of sight for young people from all GM boroughs to amazing well paid careers.

Such nice alignment to the skills programmes were running @TICMcr

Hanging out in Rochdale today as part of the @TICMcr collaboration with @fireup_rochdale

It’s a gorgeous coworking space based in a heritage fire station 🚒 with loads of support offer

Can’t wait to get stuck in on AI skills and growth support with the team here

[Elizabeth Scott MBE 🐝 @LizzyCScott]

Can’t believe how many wonderful folks turned out to celebrate the launch of @TICMcr with us!

Delighted to meet so many people keen to take Greater Manchester’s AI ecosystem to the next level 🚀

Genuinely standing room only at the launch of the Turing Innovation Catalyst Manchester with @LizzyCScott @TICMcr

[Elizabeth Scott MBE 🐝 @LizzyCScott]

Love this!

[Jenny Fielding @jefielding]

Today I attended a startup’s ‘board meeting’ in London but the thing is, this startup doesn’t have an official BOD. Instead, they invite a rotating group of current and potential investors, mentors and super-fans to attend these quarterly meetings where they discuss strategy and receive feedback.

Super unique and refreshing format for early stage founders, I’m totally into it 🙌🏼

[Elizabeth Scott MBE 🐝 @LizzyCScott]

Well Manchester has shown up in force for the @praetura_ven and @ECUK_Mcr Founder F*ck Ups event!

Great to see experienced founders sharing what’s gone wrong along the way, so others can avoid making the same mistakes 👏🏽👏🏽

[Elizabeth Scott MBE 🐝 @LizzyCScott]

Launch day is nearly here! 🥳

We’re bringing the Turing Innovation Catalyst out into the world on 25th Sept and want as many voices from across Greater Manchester’s AI ecosystem in the room as possible!

It’s nearly time….

New mission accepted 💪🏽

[Elizabeth Scott MBE 🐝 @LizzyCScott]

Can you tell I was excited to bump into @SKellyCEO at a science and technology event in Manchester today?

I loved my time sitting on the Tech Nation board with him, and can’t wait to see what he and the team do with @WANdisco in this new chapter 🙌🏽

[Elizabeth Scott MBE 🐝 @LizzyCScott]

@TheLisaOHare Amazing amazing amazing - completely and utterly thrilled for you! Hope it goes brilliantly! 🤩

What an absolute delight to be reunited with Maha Gadher at @thenextweb.

Maha was the powerhouse behind so much of our partnerships magic at Tech Nation, and is now doing great things at @Techleapnl as they build the Dutch ecosystem. I’m loving hearing about their approach.

[Elizabeth Scott MBE 🐝 @LizzyCScott]

And for my morning commute…. The good ship @thenextweb ⛴️

[Elizabeth Scott MBE 🐝 @LizzyCScott]

Super early start today but I’m really excited about spending a couple of days in Amsterdam at @thenextweb hanging out with a bunch of other tech ecosystem builders and supporters 🤓🇳🇱

[Elizabeth Scott MBE 🐝 @LizzyCScott]

I’m in meetings in Manchester all day today but enjoying sneaking by a peek at my wonderful ex colleague Sammy Fry as he takes the stage to discuss all things climate tech @LDNTechWeek 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[Elizabeth Scott MBE 🐝 @LizzyCScott]

Excited to see the @StartupCltn rebrand and this report on the top 50 startup constituencies in the UK

Yet again Manchester is top ranking outside of London (and the only non-London constituency to make it into the top 10 🚀 )

[Startup Coalition @StartupCltn]

The report we’re launching alongside our rebrand highlights how far we’ve come - in the top 50 constituencies for startups that we outline, every nation and region in the UK is represented.
