Leeds Digital is bringing together key leaders and organisers from Yorkshire’s most influential digital and tech festivals and ecosystems for an exclusive, invitation-only roundtable. They will be joined by guests from regional government to explore new opportunities for collaboration and growth.
Recent initiatives such as TECH SY show the importance of regional government in boosting tech ecosystems, and the sell-out success of Bradford Digital’s inaugural Tech Tuesday conference is evidence of the appetite for local collaboration.
However, there are many challenges still to overcome. For example, recent research by Beauhurst on behalf of UK Tech Week shows that funding in Yorkshire and Humberside still lags behind most other regions in the UK.
Generously supported by Leeds Digital’s Headline Sponsor, CGI, this lunch will bring together the founders and leaders of Yorkshire’s regional tech ecosystems to highlight Yorkshire’s pivotal role in the UK’s tech landscape, fostering conversations that drive innovation, knowledge-sharing, and stronger regional connections.
We’ll discuss how we can work together to continue raising the profile of Yorkshire across the UK as a centre for tech excellence and innovation, and as a viable alternative to London for businesses at every stage of their journey.
This is a closed-door roundtable, but if you run a community-based Yorkshire tech initiative and feel you can contribute, please contact the organisers at [email protected].
