Why Doncaster is Becoming the AI Hub of the North

        Status Update (2026): Doncaster is officially bidding to become a UK AI Growth Zone, a move supported by the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority. This initiative aims to link Doncaster's logistics and manufacturing sectors with advanced AI research and investment.
      

Doncaster is shifting from its industrial roots to a digital future. The city is now attracting global entrepreneurs seeking an alternative to the "Golden Triangle" of London, Oxford, and Cambridge.
