7.1
On 20 March 2026 the West of England hosted a Mayoral Council meeting at the University of Bristol’s NCC research centre, where ministers and regional mayors toured Isambard-AI, the £225 million government-funded supercomputer. The visit highlighted the region’s innovation assets—NCC’s 400 engineers, nearly 800 jobs created annually and a £54 billion regional economy—and bolstered calls for further devolution and planned national AI and quantum investments.
