Welcome to Sister, a new £1.7bn innovation district situated in the heart of Manchester’s knowledge quarter. A partnership between The University of Manchester and Bruntwood SciTech, we’re founded on the belief that ideas flourish where business, education and communities come together. 

Over the next 15 years, we’re transforming the University’s former North campus into a hub for science and technology innovation and a vibrant new neighbourhood. Here, exciting new start-ups will be located next to leading global corporations and cutting-edge research institutions. With new offices, homes, amenities and green spaces, it will be a place to work, live, meet, collaborate and spark the ideas and inventions that change the way we live. 

The Renold Innovation Hub opened in Autumn 2024 as a new home for the North West’s most promising entrepreneurs, start-ups and spin-outs. A catalyst for innovation and a home for creativity, we’re creating a collaborative ecosystem where growing and established companies can work together with funders, advisers and supporters to accelerate business growth and build a better future for Manchester and beyond.
