Connecting the North - Technology

NorthernNet sets a precedent.

The speed and capacity for data storage and transmission has never before been available to Northern businesses. For the first time the North West, Yorkshire and the North East will have a single high speed, digital network that connects the region’s creative and digital industry sectors and customers.

The pay-as-you-go use of Media Access Bureaus in convenient locations across the North will enable freelancers and small businesses to really compete in the game.

In the Media Access Bureaus they will be able to access the Kit and speed needed to open new markets, extend their resources and expand their offer to customers.

The speed and efficiency of NorthernNet will transform the way businesses are able to develop their products and communicate with customers. It will help creatives to explore new R&D.

This technology will equip the Northern digital and creative companies with the infrastructure to compete with the rest of the world.

NorthernNet Innovation and Collaboration Programme

NorthernNet will support and develop the creative and digital industry, through encouraging innovation and collaboration, safe guarding and creating jobs and companies, training and skills development.
