Manchester
MIAH is the UK’s first net zero industrialisation and electrification skills
training centre dedicated to supporting a broader range of entrepreneurs and
innovators to develop, prove, prototype and commercialise next generation
products and processes to tackle climate change. The £4m Manchester Innovation
Activities Hub (MIAH) is a pioneering, state-of-the-art innovation and skills
training facility for the low carbon economy. We enable innovative businesses to
scale, pivot and future proof their organisation through access to the latest
industrial grade fabrication equipment, electrification and industrial
digitisation skills training, collaborative R&D projects and access funding
under one roof. MIAH exists to strengthen links between Greater Manchester’s
centres of research excellence, innovation assets, and investment funding
mechanisms to open up new opportunities for under-represented groups and left
behind communities. We are passionate about levelling up through innovation,
driving economic recovery that puts local people and communities first, embraces
the benefits of diversity, rebalances inequalities, creates lasting resilience,
supports the move to net zero carbon and rethinks productivity. At MIAH, we’ll
turn your ideas into reality. We connect the dots between academia and industry
to translate research into market innovation. And we work closely with local
stakeholders to drive inclusive growth and truly ‘level up’ the economy.
