We are powering up communities, connecting neighbourhoods, designing for density and fuelling momentum. Sheffield Innovation Spine is an energised urban innovation district in the North of England. Spanning 190 acres, connecting five mixed-use neighbourhoods in Sheffield city centre, the Spine clusters innovation activity that drives economic growth across the region. Powered by two leading universities, global businesses, and a fast growing community of startups and spinouts, the Spine connects people, ideas and research in specialist spaces.
Sheffield Innovation Spine is a partnership between South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority, Sheffield City Council, The University of Sheffield, Sheffield Hallam University, and Sheffield Technology Parks. Together, we collaborate with the wider ecosystem to deliver innovation-led economic growth across South Yorkshire, by clearly signalling that the Spine is live and now is the time to invest in an ambitious and energised Sheffield.
