Liverpool Science Park News & Press

Smart phone and tablet software innovators, Top 10 In The City (UK) Ltd launch unique interactive city visitor website from  Liverpool Science Park base. 
   
Top 10 In The City (UK) Ltd have chosen Liverpool Science Park (LSP) from which to roll out their innovative and unique smart phone and tablet optimised international city guide. 
  
The Top 10 In The City team selected LSP's Innovation Centre (ic1) in Mount Pleasant from which to launch their new product due to the excellent facilities, flexible accommodation and the concentration of cutting edge companies already working from the award-winning facility. 
  
Top 10 In The City is an international city guide with a difference; with over 51% of all internet usage now taking place on the move*, the website is aimed at smartphone and tablet users, specifically those visiting cities for business and/or leisure, and business owners wanting to access this marketplace. The www.top10inthecity.com website features the 'Top 10' establishments across an ever expanding list of categories such as places to eat, drink or sleep, and it is the customers themselves who vote on their experiences thereby determining the chart position within each category. 
  

www.top10inthecity.com users can also add new businesses not already listed and vote on them, and choose to view details of establishments close to their current location or city-wide, eventually in any city in the world! The system has been developed so the proprietors themselves can respond and contact their customers directly, keeping them informed with latest news, offers and updates. This two-way dialogue is just one of the features that makes www.top10inthecity.com unique. 
 
Designed and built with the traveller and city visitor at its core, Top 10 In The City is not an 'App' (application software), there is nothing to download and no charge to register to use the site. Businesses and attractions are featured as a listing on the site free of charge and can choose to upgrade, increasing their presence and engage with their voting customers directly. 
 
Terje Skjelten, founder of Top 10 In The City said:
"Top 10 In the City has been in development for two years and following an extensive period of testing. We needed a UK base from which the team could launch the website and the initial roll out is focussing on encouraging uptake of use in Liverpool and Manchester, so the Innovation Centre at the LSP is a perfect hub from which to do this. Already we are benefiting from expertise here at facility which bodes well for the future." 

Chris Musson , CEO of Liverpool Science Park, added:
"We warmly welcome Top 10 In The City (UK) Ltd to Liverpool Science Park. The project fulfils our knowledge based, innovation, technology and growth criteria. We look forward to working with the Top 10 team as they develop their business over the coming months." 

Top 10 In The City was originally released in Latvia for extensive user and business trials. Following detailed feedback and consultation through various forums, the website has been refined and is now ready for international release with Liverpool and Manchester being the first two UK cities to see rolled out.

One of the first Liverpool companies to see the potential of Top 10 In The City is MOJO, one of the city's favourite bars; home of Liverpool Music Week and champion of the local music scene, who they heavily support with www.radiomojo.co.uk . 
  
Explaining why MOJO are using Top 10 In The City, MOJO Manager, Scott Simpson said:
"We believe Top 10 in the City is a great way to engage with both our existing customers, and our customers of tomorrow. Top 10 In The City will enable more Liverpool visitors to make informed choices about where to spend their time, and enter a dialogue with us about their experience. MOJO's strap line is 'Music for the People' and so we look forward to customers rating their visit to us using Top 10 In The City from their smartphone or tablet.
