Nottingham - Home of Disruptive Thinking
The legendary tales of Robin Hood still run rife through our city. Through his innovative “re-distribution model” (as we like to call it), he changed the financial services landscape. That disruptive DNA remains present in the pioneering spirit of Nottingham today.
It was that spirit of disruption that helped Nottingham’s Ada Lovelace – daughter of another Nottingham rebel, Lord Byron - work with Charles Babbage to create the first mechanical computing machine.
Then in the early 1970s, spurred on by Lovelace’s legacy, a team of coders in Nottingham put the first customer records onto a computer database. They went on to become global leaders Experian.
The knowledge-driven environment fostered by businesses like Experian has given birth to a new generation of creative digital enterprises that now rank Nottingham as a major centre for tech development and business growth.
Entrepreneurial and edgy, creative with an independent streak. Change happens here.
