Dr Cat Headley, CEO of The University of Manchester Innovation Factory, commented: \u201cThe signing of this MoU with NatWest is a really positive step in building a partnership that has the potential to span across many areas of innovation in the University, in a way that will benefit researchers, students and entrepreneurs across our community.\u201d<\/p>\n
The signing event for the MoU was held at The University of Manchester and it was signed by Professor Kenneth McPhail, Head of School at AMBS and Stephen Sankson, Regional Director at NatWest, on NatWest\u2019s behalf.<\/p>\n
Mr Sankson said of the partnership: \u201cWe are delighted to sign this agreement with The University of Manchester. Whether focussing on entrepreneurship with students, supporting spin outs, or helping early-stage ventures to flourish, this partnership will not only provide opportunities to work on our shared goal of supporting growth, but will also be a catalyst for even greater collaboration and innovation across the City Region and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n
The MoU establishes a three-year framework for collaboration, with regular reviews to ensure continued progress and impact. A dedicated Steering Committee will guide the partnership, focusing on broad strategic priorities that strengthen innovation, enhance the student experience, and create opportunities for knowledge exchange and enterprise across the University and beyond.<\/p>\n
The MoU will merge the University\u2019s world-class academic expertise and NatWest\u2019s leadership in the financial sector, with the aim of shaping a future of inclusive, sustainable growth.<\/p>\n
