Fantastic to be here in Manchester. And brilliant to have the PM and so much of his Cabinet here made so much more likely by his brave decision to establish Number 10 North. Also great to have so much @TheDataCity data powering the prospectus for building an #InnovationNation.

I am here of course because of @TheDataCity. We find the companies that go on the tech map. We know what jobs they're advertising for, we know what companies spin out of the universities, we know how quickly they're growing.
