York Accelerator Analysis and Report Launch
Based on the consultation of 100 key stakeholders.

Based on the constructive and insightful feedback from key stakeholders across the York economy, this report has analysed the merits of a potential York Accelerator which would be closely aligned to York’s key strengths and key innovation activities in the Northern Powerhouse and the UK. While there is a healthy debate between stakeholders over certain aspects of York’s innovation ecosystem, there is an overriding passion and commitment by all stakeholders to drive innovation in the city.
