But it ' s not just about powering the existing players . This transformative shift in regional data accessibility dismantles the notion that businesses right the way across the UK cannot access the speed , connectivity and localised processing required for advanced applications . In fact , it opens a world of possibilities for businesses that traditionally did not consider themselves part of the tech sector . With new Softwareboasts a thriving £ 5 billion digital ecosystem and is a beacon for what can already be achieved . Looking to the future , Greater Manchester Council has also outlined a visionary digital strategy , aiming to lead by example through the delivery of digital solutions in partnership with the evolving regional ecosystem .
But how can we replicate this success on a national scale ? By harnessing emerging technologies , how can Manchester , and other regional tech hubs , accelerate their development even further ? And what does it mean for the data centre industry ? One thing is certain – the exponential growth of data and its aggregation , processing and modelling will continue unabated . Achieving regeneration requires not only entrepreneurial talent , confidence and access to capital but also a robust regional digital infrastructure capable of effectively managing the everexpanding volume of data .
In essence , digital infrastructure should be seen as the fourth utility , underpinning the data-driven economy . And in the ever-evolving digital landscape , a new force has emerged as the linchpin of regional growth and innovation in the form of Edge data centres – which will unlock new opportunities for existing and revolutionising tech hubs .
Edge data centres are essential enablers
Edge data centres are the essential enablers of IoT , AI and advanced applications in regional contexts . Imagine a world where data flows seamlessly ,

To understand the significance of Edge Computing , we must recognise the insatiable appetite for data . The proliferation of devices , the vast array of industrial and commercial IoT systems and the relentless march of AI all rely on copious amounts of data to reach their full potential . To harness this data most efficiently , businesses require access to digital infrastructure that can handle the demands of the digital age .
Enter Edge Computing – bringing data and computing closer to the source . By establishing networks of regional data centres , high-speed connectivity and networking can be extended to even the most remote areas . This means that data processing can happen locally , reducing the need for large-scale data transfers across vast networks .
An end to regional data inequality
