The West Midlands now has a new Signpost for the ICT industry. The West Midlands ICT Hub is developing a cluster of ICT businesses and partners to bring economic advantage to the region managed by Aston Science Park. The WM ICT Hub supports a number of Advantage West Midlands projects that are focused on the ICT Cluster. The WM ICT Hub focuses on the specific needs to enhance networking, innovation and skills with the result being economic benefits for businesses within the region. The WM ICT Hub will act as a signpost for enquiries and opportunities for West Midlands ICT Businesses who are registered at www.wmictcluster.org. AWM believes that the West Midlands’ has the potential to become the “Digital Foundry of the World” and that by developing a Cluster of ICT businesses and partners it has the opportunity to restore economic advantage to the region. To date, there are eight support projects within the West Midlands ICT Cluster, with two iCentrum and Photonics Cluster UK, based at Aston Science Park.
The WM ICT Hub will provide an independent one-stop-shop for information on the ICT Cluster to any business or business support organisation – and the aim is that the beneficiaries will be businesses in the West Midlands. The WM ICT Hub will also be a ‘shop window’ for the region’s ICT capabilities and initiatives providing support in order to create commercial opportunities for some 3,000 businesses operating within the ICT sector.
