Welcome
Welcome to the UK Innovation Districts Group Monthly Digest. Join us as we explore trends, lessons and new insights into innovation, regeneration, inclusive growth, placemaking and the sustainable and accessible creation of Innovation Districts and Knowledge Quarters.
The UKIDG is a network of five self-defined innovation districts from across the UK including: Glasgow Riverside Innovation District; Knowledge Quarter Liverpool, Leeds Innovation District, Knowledge Quarter London; and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. As a group, we aim to make the case for our urban centres and their potential to advance research in areas such as AI, medical sciences and the humanities, while growing the UK’s wider economy.
Each of our Monthly Digests is dedicated to ensuring that you are kept up to date with the latest thought leadership and research in this area.
