Cheshire’s entrepreneurs and business owners are invited to discover how artificial intelligence can transform ideas into real, testable products at the Cheshire Innovation Network Roadshow: Coding with AI, taking place in Chester on Tuesday, 15 October 2025.
This half-day, hands-on event, hosted by Manchester Metropolitan University in partnership with NoCodeLab.ai, Cheshire West and Chester Council, and funded through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, will show how AI and no-code tools can accelerate innovation for small and medium-sized businesses.
At the heart of the program is a live workshop led by Sara Simeone, co-founder and CEO of NoCodeLab.ai, and Deborah Cleary. In Play to Build: Vibe Coding with AI, participants will learn to turn an idea - from a marketplace platform to a SaaS dashboard - into a clickable prototype in under an hour, with no coding skills required.
Open to eligible businesses in Cheshire West and Chester, the event also features expert talks from Manchester Metropolitan University on strategic AI use, as well as access to fully funded innovation support.
Attendance is free, but spaces are limited, so registration is essential.
