Sheffield's transformation from the Steel City to a diverse, commercially active modern city has been one of the success stories of post-industrial Britain. The Sheffield city region economy is worth over £12 billion, with a business community spanning advanced manufacturing, digital and technology, professional services, healthcare, retail and a growing creative sector. The University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University together bring over 60,000 students to the city, supporting a vibrant economy and a talent pool that is driving the city's technology ambitions.
