Instigated and coordinated by Hampshire County Council*, the AI Growth Alliance is an ambitious new partnership dedicated to building a thriving, inclusive artificial intelligence (AI) economy and skills ecosystem across Hampshire and the Solent region.
Backed by leading colleges, universities, employers, and civic organisations—including the South Coast Institute of Technology—this alliance is working together to ensure our region plays a central role in the UK’s AI revolution.
Our mission is clear: to help more people—from all backgrounds—gain the skills, knowledge, and confidence to thrive in an AI-driven world. Whether through education, innovation, or career development, we’re building a connected network where learners, educators, and employers collaborate to unlock new opportunities.
AI is changing how we live and work—and it’s happening fast. The Alliance is here to help our region stay ahead by ensuring people and businesses understand not only how to use AI, but how to use it well. By building strong partnerships between education providers and employers, we’ll bridge skills gaps and open up new opportunities for innovation, productivity, and career growth.
The AI Growth Alliance brings together a wide range of local and national partners, including:
Together, we’re making AI education and careers more accessible, more relevant, and more connected to the real needs of our region.
The South Coast Institute of Technology is proud to be a founding partner of the AI Growth Alliance and delighted to host this page while the Alliance develops its own digital presence.
As a collaboration of leading education and industry partners, we are already committed to driving forward AI and digital innovation across the region. While you’re here, we invite you to explore our digital career pathways, designed to help students and professionals prepare for the future of work in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
