First Innovation Marketplace for Business brings opportunities to Manchester 

The Trafford & Stockport College Group Innovation Team has successfully delivered the very first Innovation Marketplace for Business. 

The event was held at Manchester Hall in collaboration with the Innovation Teams at The Manchester College and Tameside College and brought together local businesses and support organisations, giving employers the chance to: 

  • Discover new opportunities for growth 
  • Access support they may not have known was available 
  • Connect with specialist partners across a range of sectors 

Exhibitors included experts in areas such as mental health support, cyber security and business grants. 

One of the attendees highlighted the value of the event: “There is so much support available for small businesses which we were unaware of. This event brought it all together under one roof.” 

Well done to our Innovation Team for creating a platform where new ideas, connections and collaborations can lead to real impact for businesses.
