Welcome to SISTER
Sister is where Manchester will change the world again.
Sister is Manchester’s new innovation district. A £1.7bn investment into the city, its setting – the former University of Manchester North Campus and UMIST site – is steeped in science and engineering history. Home to the UK’s most exciting new ideas and disruptive technologies, Sister is a worldclass innovation platform in the heart of one of the most exciting global cities. It stands as the city’s symbol of a new era of discovery that promises progress against humanity’s greatest challenges.
At Sister, you’ll find visionary start-ups next to industry-leading multinationals. University spin-outs next to social enterprises. Creative studios next to R&D facilities. New homes next to calming green spaces and bustling community hubs.
The Renold Building is the first of Sister’s buildings to open, in Autumn 2024. Reactivated as an innovation hub, it will act as the keystone of the Sister ecosystem and a new home for Manchester’s most promising entrepreneurs, start-ups and spin-outs.
Celebrating its history as an educational hub, Renold will be an inclusive, purpose-driven community, hosting the UK's next wave of science and technology innovators.
