Put Yorkshire at heart of green industrial revolution
Before the tech industry got going, aside from Stanford University, what’s now called Silicon Valley was a relatively nondescript place in California.
Today, decades later, it’s the technology hub of the world. The continued innovation means a continued investment stream and demand for skills that has created millions of jobs, careers and prosperity.
It’s not often that such a ‘reinvention’ moment happens but our country has more experience in them than most. The first Industrial Revolution was born right here in Britain and shaped this country’s fortunes. Places like Yorkshire were at its centre.
