Partners
Collaboration at the Core
Lab of the North is powered by a growing alliance of partners from across the North of England. Together, we are creating a shared platform to unlock the full potential of advanced connectivity — for our industries, communities, and future generations.
Our partners come from five core sectors:
- Universities – World-leading research and facilities
- SMEs – Agile innovators solving real-world problems
- Large Industry – Sector leaders driving deployment and scale
- Local Government – Enabling public transformation and regional growth
- Specialised Facilities – Testbeds, labs, and unique physical assets
A New Model of Collaboration
Lab of the North isn’t a single building — it’s a federated network of partners, projects and pooled facilities working together through a cooperative framework.
Each partner contributes value — whether technical, physical, strategic or financial — and in return gains access to shared resources, visibility, and collaborative opportunities.
