The Turing Innovation Catalyst (Manchester) (TIC or TIC-M) aims to accelerate the commercial exploitation of productivity-enhancing Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital trust technologies in Greater Manchester (GM). The two-year Innovation Accelerator project will fund innovation activities with regional businesses and R&D stakeholders, as part of the Alan Turing Institute's national strategy to increase the benefit, and accelerate the impact, of the application of data science and AI across the UK economy and society.The University of Manchester-led project builds on existing strengths in the city region by bringing together a consortium of leading AI-focused businesses (including Graphcore, BAE Systems, Matillion and Peak AI), regional R&D organisations (Manchester Metropolitan University, University of Salford, and the Hartree Centre), accelerators (Capital Enterprise and Conception X), investors, and specialist skills providers. It will provide businesses with access to cutting-edge R&D capabilities, high-specification premises for collaboration, innovation finance, skills training, and specialist support and advice.TIC will create a pipeline of commercially exploitable deep digital technologies needed for the UK to realise its ambition to be a global AI research and innovation superpower. It will accelerate the use of AI in key GM growth sectors including health innovation, advanced materials and manufacturing, creative and net zero -- all of which are critical application areas for the technology. It will help create a resilient and trusted domestic AI sector and supply chain, growing exports and protecting the UK against future threats.Headquartered on the new ID Manchester innovation district in Manchester city centre, TIC will catalyse a dynamic cluster of entrepreneurs, business leaders, scientists, engineers, investors, and creatives -- united by a culture of ethics, diversity, and openness -- at the heart of the north's digital economy. It will have spokes in town centre locations to help grow emerging digital clusters across the city region. It will connect local people to opportunities and create an inclusive and diverse pipeline of AI practitioners with the technical and commercial skills demanded by industry.The TIC project is expected to directly stimulate £24 million of co-investment, create up to 200 jobs and give a GVA uplift of £35 million, generating 7:1 economic return to public investment over the medium term. It will have a long-term legacy by helping to establish the TIC as an independent and business-led digital deep tech centre of excellence.

图灵创新催化剂（曼彻斯特）（TIC或TIC-M）旨在加速大曼彻斯特（GM）生产力增强人工智能（AI）和数字信任技术的商业开发。为期两年的创新加速器项目将为区域企业和研发利益相关者的创新活动提供资金，作为艾伦图灵研究所国家战略的一部分，以增加效益，加速影响，数据科学和人工智能在英国经济和社会中的应用。曼彻斯特大学领导的项目建立在城市地区的现有优势之上，汇集了领先的人工智能联盟，重点企业（包括Graphcore，BAE Systems，Matillion和Peak AI），区域研发组织（曼彻斯特城市大学，索尔福德大学和Hartree中心），加速器（Capital Enterprise和Conception X），投资者和专业技能提供商。TIC将为企业提供尖端的研发能力、高规格的合作场所、创新融资、技能培训以及专家支持和建议。TIC将创建一个可商业利用的深度数字技术管道，帮助英国实现成为全球人工智能研究和创新超级大国的雄心。它将加速人工智能在关键转基因增长领域的应用，包括健康创新、先进材料和制造、创意和净零--所有这些都是该技术的关键应用领域。TIC总部位于曼彻斯特城中心的新ID Manchester创新区，将催化一个充满活力的企业家、商业领袖、科学家、工程师、投资者和创意人士的集群--通过道德、多样性、和开放--这是北方数字经济的核心。它将在市中心的位置有辐条，以帮助在整个城市地区发展新兴的数字集群。TIC项目预计将直接刺激2400万英镑的联合投资，创造多达200个就业岗位，并使GVA提升3500万英镑，在中期内为公共投资带来7：1的经济回报。它将通过帮助建立TIC作为一个独立的和商业主导的数字深度技术卓越中心而产生长期影响。
