Keep It Human

Our journey: Keep•It•Human is a unique academic spin-out from The University of Manchester. This social venture, founded by Professor Ricardo Climent, emerged from the Aspect Success 2020 accelerator (now called ARC) with the support of the Masood Entrepreneurship Centre at the Alliance Manchester Business School. Our goal is to build video games in which players make decisions in a digital environment, which have a positive impact on the real world. Immersive media narratives and digital representation have a transformative power on people’s ideas and opinions. We use these tools to create gamified simulators that enable individuals and businesses to experience alternative scenarios and make well-informed decisions.
