England's Northwest will be renowned as an area of world-class scientific achievement, creating a magnet for talent and science investment, a powerful driver for innovation and enterprise, and an effective force for delivering benefits to health, the environment and society.

It will take three things to make this vision a reality:

Purpose
the determination to realise the vision, shared by all the regional partners and supported by resources and commitment;

People
the talented individuals and teams, from world-leading scientific stars in our major universities and companies through talented graduates to young people that are fascinated by scientific achievement and want to be part of it;

Passion
the same commitment and persistence that put the Northwest at the forefront of technology in the past, and is still doing so through a succession of new science-based business ventures.
