In a new report from The Jobs Foundation, Senior Policy Advisor, Nick Tyrone takes a deep dive into our city, our challenges and the relationship between ​business and social mobility.

In researching 'Sheffield: forging steel and embracing tech' Nick met all his case studies face to face in Sheffield and took time to properly explore the city and our ‘burgeoning technology sector’. He unpacks the ways that this newer tech-based economy can intersect with older, traditional parts of the market, such as manufacturing.

Sheffield Technology Parks was involved in Nick’s research, so too were a number of businesses and people that have roots here at STP. We’re really proud to be part of this landmark study which shines a light on all the hard work going on to help Sheffield overcome big challenges.

In 'Sheffield: forging steel and embracing tech' you’ll hear from:

• Our CEO Tom Wolfenden and his views on the role of Sheffield’s universities and a new generation of hustlers
• Thomas Milton, founder of Amodo Design, about how engineering consultancies allow other sectors of the economy to innovate
• Ben Widdows, CEO at GWD on the running a profit making enterprise that provides greater societal good.

Plus, there's lots more interesting, inspiring stuff in there. Have a read: https://thejobsfoundation.com/sheffield-forging-steel-and-embracing-tech/.
