South Yorkshire has ambitions to create an innovation revolution in advanced manufacturing and technology that could strengthen its links with India, if the UK government moves forward with its plans to create an ‘MIT for the North’ in the region.

Referring to a scheme which would be similar to the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), South Yorkshire is planning to become home to a world-leading institution in the north to rival Oxford and Cambridge, which could help the region to further advance its work, particularly with Indian companies.
