Manchester's 2025 Advantage Report

Building a Resilient Business Ecosystem

How to make sustainability work for business?

Last month, as part of our Sustainable Futures Live series with Sustainable Ventures, we brought together 15 Manchester business leaders for a roundtable on sustainable growth. This report captures their practical insights - from manufacturers and banks to tech startups and universities - on turning the city's £37bn tech ecosystem into real business growth.

See how Manchester's business community is working together to tackle common challenges and set ambitious goals for making sustainable growth happen. We’d love to hear from you if your region is doing something similar, or if you are keen to convene your ecosystem to do something similar.

Why read this report?

It turns out the biggest barriers aren't lack of interest in sustainability, but knowing what questions to ask and balancing short-term pressures with long-term goals.
