The SEAM - Barnsley's Digital Campus

An urban cluster extending the success of Barnsley's town centre, into an aspirational setting - the heart of business in Barnsley.

A place to INNOVATE

We’re committed to driving innovation and economic growth. Our town centre is transformed, and we’re at the heart of growing the regional tech and innovation ecosystem via our programmes and facilities. We believe the Seam Digital Campus has the potential to become a hub for research, development, and collaboration between businesses, academia, and government.

 

The Seam will be at the heart of Barnsley's economy by inspiring entrepreneurs, creating talent pathways, growing our digital business networks and an innovative place to live, work and create.

Already Barnsley is driving growth in the regional digital economy with internationally recognised success.

The DMC has been the driving force behind projects such as TEAM SY, Tech Welcome Grant, and Digital Innovation for Growth - developing the ecosystem regionally by building communities and providing spaces for innovation and collaboration.

The idea of a campus developed from the DMC involvement at European level - leading on Tech Revolution, an URBACT transfer network. The campus will provide a platform for the latest tech to be tested, and ideas generated. A space for people to be bold, welcoming entrepreneurial collaborations and communities.
