Building a strong network of mentors, investors, and peers is essential for entrepreneurs. Such a network can provide guidance and help navigate the challenges of scaling a business. Additionally, assembling a team with the right skills is crucial, and innovation hubs like Sister can be valuable sources for emerging talent and experienced advisors.

Sister is committed to creating an inclusive, purpose-driven community in Manchester. The project aims to generate over 10,000 jobs, develop more than 2 million square feet of commercial, retail, and leisure space, and provide 1,500 new homes. Future developments include Zone C, which will add over half a million square feet of flexible commercial space to drive economic growth.

The Renold Innovation Hub, opened in Autumn 2024, serves as a base for start-ups, entrepreneurs, and organizations contributing to the innovation economy. It hosts entities like Sustainable Ventures and the Turing Innovation Catalyst Manchester. The hub also functions as a community space with events and a community café accessible to the public.
