Great to attend the launch of #BER23 by @CityREDI & @GrBhamChambers, “a key moment in the calendar of the city” according to UoB Vice-Chancellor Adam Tickell. Despite the challenges, this year’s report shows that “Birmingham is open for business” says BCC leader @CllrJohnCotton.
“Universities are a big part of the solution to the challenges the UK faces, but we need the backing of gov rather than constant criticism. Universities also need to demonstrate their value rather than just looking to gov to fix our problems”, says @unibirmingham VC Adam Tickell
