Manchester AI Guild

Build capability. Create opportunity. Grow prosperity.

Who we are

The Manchester AI Guild is a not-for-profit. We help businesses in Greater Manchester and the North West adopt AI in practical and ethical ways.

We bring business, academia, government and the AI community together, so that AI work gets done here and is not just talked about.

Our purpose

The Manchester AI Guild is a not-for-profit dedicated to making AI work for the benefit of Manchester and the UK.

We advise SMEs and institutions on their technology needs, grow people's understanding and skills, and connect to service providers. We strive to help businesses solve their challenges through impartial and practical advice, building on decades of experience and a shared knowledge base, to drive lasting change in Manchester and the UK through the responsible adoption of AI.

We have two ambitions:

  1. Help SMEs and enterprises adopt AI to drive growth, improve efficiency and solve real business problems.
  2. Bring business, academia, government and the AI community together to build the next generation of AI capability to support that growth.

What we offer

  • SME Workshops. An afternoon workshop, a workshop for one company, or an open session. Self-sponsored: your business funds its own place.
  • AI Consultancy. Practical help to apply AI safely in your organisation.

The Manchester Way is the Guild's practical method for helping small businesses adopt AI. Read the AI Cookbook and other guides on the Downloads page.

Get involved

Public policies will be published on the Guild site after SLT sign-off. The Code of Conduct applies to all Guild spaces.
