Our ambition is to make MediaCityUK a place for everyone involved in the creative and digital industries – whether that’s TV production or publishing, gaming or software development.

But this isn’t something we expect to happen overnight. We describe 2011 as the starting point for a long-term journey, which will see MediaCityUK grow organically over time.

In Phase 1, the BBC, the University of Salford, and Vision and Media will all have a significant presence on site, as well as the companies already here at The Pie Factory. We've also got space for other creative and digital companies who'd like to be at MediaCityUK from 2011. Discussions about these opportunities are already underway so if you’re interested in joining us click here for more information. And of course, MediaCityUK isn't appearing in isolation – we'll be joining the existing Salford Quays community, which already includes thousands of workers, residents and visitors.
