Creating a collaborative culture
Newcastle Science City works to encourage collaborative culture across the region bringing together scientific research and development and creating an attractive proposition for would-be investors and business people looking to start their own companies.
What makes Newcastle work as a Science City is the commitment shown by everyone involved. Not only have the main partners worked hard to make the dream a reality but the involvement of businesses, universities, businesses, schools, colleges and communities has also been crucial.
The work – which is creating a common “science citizenship” – is aimed at deepening understanding, achieving breakthroughs, attracting investment and creating jobs.
As a result, Newcastle and the wider North East region is competing not just on a national level but globally as well.
First Fridays North East
One way in which Newcastle Science City is encouraging collaboration across Newcastle and the wider region, is through the First Friday series of events. Taking place on the first friday of ever month, First Fridays North East is an informal forum to discuss innovation and entrepreneurship.
Aimed at innovation scouts, financiers, entrepreneurs, designers, scientists, and some budding business developers, it is the perfect environment to talk about new ideas, opportunties, experiences and business insights.
