<p>There is growing evidence showing that joining neighbouring places through ‘corridors’ of shared strategies, institutions and initiatives brings about greater opportunities.</p> <p>For too long, towns, cities and regions have been forced to compete for constrained resources; fragmented and small pots of funding made even less accessible by shifting political priorities.</p> </div>

industrial strategy back on the table, now is the time for places to come together and take the lead on growing their industrial sectors and regional economies.</p> <p>We are partnering with places to bring stakeholders from across regions to collaborate in establishing Innovation Corridors: on a single, integrated plan for greater pan-regional prosperity. An example is One Creative North – an RSA-initiated partnership to super-charge the creative industries across the North of England.</p> <p>As a neutral, not-for-profit partner with a centuries-long tradition of convening government, business and civil society, coupled with our economic and industrial expertise, we are uniquely placed to formulate strategies that create economic value and grow prosperity.</p> </div> </div></div><div class="col-12 "><div class="textBlock"> <div class="wysiwyg"> <p>Innovation Corridor partnerships can include:</p> <ul> <li>A corridor coalition consisting of leaders from public, private and third sectors.</li> <li>Detailed mapping of corridor strengths and challenges, bound together by a unique narrative.</li> <li>Steps to build out a particular industrial strength or on growing a particular industry.</li> <li>A plan to build out the role of individual places or clusters within a corridor area.</li> <li>A suite of propositions to build on corridor strengths.</li> <li>A capital stack to finance the propositions that convenes public and private finance providers to innovate and partner.</li> </ul> </div> </div></div><div class="col-12 "><div class="textBlock"> <div class="wysiwyg"> <p>Get in touch with <a title="Email the RSA partnerships team" href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#c7b7a6b5b3a9a2b5b4afaeb7b487b5b4a6e9a8b5a0e9b2ac"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="d9a9b8abadb7bcabaab1b0a9aa99abaab8f7b6abbef7acb2">[email protected]</span></a> to discuss how we might collaborate on developing an Innovation Corridor.</p> </div> </div></div><div class="col-12 "><div class="headingBlock"> <div class="wysiwyg"> <h2 style="text-align:;" >Read about what we've done in the past in this area</h2> </div> </div></div><div class="col-12 "><div class="promoBlock rsaLightGrey"> <div class="promoBlockWrap"> <figure class="image" > <a href="/design-for-life-our-mission/prosperous-places/strategy-and-vision/innovation-corridors/creative-corridors"> <img loading="lazy" title="" alt="" src="/globalassets/_foundation/new-site-blocks-and-images/design-for-life2/ncc/ncc-circle-600x338.png" width="100%" height="auto" /> </a> </figure> <div class="text"> <div class="textWrap"> <h2 > <a href="/design-for-life-our-mission/prosperous-places/strategy-and-vision/innovation-corridors/creative-corridors"> Creative corridors </a> </h2> <p > Working with Creative PEC and Arts Council England the RSA is bringing together leaders across regions in the UK to grow the impact of the creative industries, and creativity in industry. </p> </div> </div> </div> </div></div><div class="col-12 "> <div class="contentListing canvasBg pattern"> <div class="contentListingTitle"> <h2 class="contentListingTitleText" >Innovation Corridors related content</h2> </div> <ul class="contentListingGrid itemCount3"> <li class="contentListingGridItem"> <div class="promoBlock pagePartial "> <div class="promoBlockWrap"> <div class="image"> <a href="/reports/creative-corridors-connecting-clusters-to-unleash-potential-report"> <img loading="lazy" title="" alt="" src="/globalassets/_foundation/new-site-blocks-and-images/reports/2024/10/creativecorridors_report__listingimage_600x338.png" width="100%" height="auto" /> </a> </div> <div class="text"> <div class="textWrap"> <h3> <a href="/reports/creative-corridors-connecting-clusters-to-unleash-potential-report"> Creative Corridors: connecting clusters to unleash potential </a> </h3> <p class="promoBlockType"> Report </p> <p class="promoBlockDate"> <time datetime="2024-10-24T14:00:00">24 Oct 2024</time> </p> <p class="promoBlockAuthor"> <span>Jolyon Miles-Wilson</span> <span>Hayley Sims</span> <span>Tom Stratton</span> <span>Bernard Hay</span> <span>Emily Hopkins</span> </p> <p class="promoBlockDesc"> This report offers creative corridors as a mechanism for harnessing this growth.
