Mayor backs bids to put our region at the forefront of Al growth

BACKING TWO AI GROWTH ZONES

- By ANDREW SPENCE

THE Mayor of Hull and East Yorkshire, Luke Campbell, has backed bids to make Yorkshire and the Humber a national leader in AI growth.

Mr Campbell has written to the Government to support bids from North Lincolnshire and York & North Yorkshire respectively as the areas look to become “AI Growth Zones”.

The Government is accepting bids for regions to become designated “AI Growth Zones” which will unlock investment and accelerate infrastructure construction in the areas.

Mr Campbell is backing the two bids as he believes the growth would be to the benefit of people in Hull and East Yorkshire.

North Lincolnshire Council’s bid would, they say, create more than 11,000 jobs and support a further 4,000 jobs through supply chains.
