The Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) is calling for a fundamental tilt in government innovation funding, backed by a £6 billion-a-year boost for the North as part of the UK’s industrial strategy.
The call comes as part of a new report, Innovation in the North, published in collaboration with Durham University Business School.
The report argues that targeted public and private R&D investment in the North’s high-potential sectors could help close the productivity gap between North and South, unlocking up to £206 billion in economic output over the next decade.
