\u201cThere is a great degree of talent, knowledge and skill residing in the North-West that can help drive new enterprise investment and strengthen SME resilience.<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite the difficult business environment, I believe that through collaboration and continued support of start-ups, corporates and researchers we can help foster technological innovation, business development, and R&D activity and build on the strong track record of achievement in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n
