Northern Tech Summit

The Northern Tech Summit brings together founders, investors, policymakers and ecosystem leaders from across the North of England.

Hosted at the world-famous Crucible Theatre, the summit will explore how regional collaboration can accelerate innovation, investment and growth. This year’s programme will focus on strengthening connections between Northern ecosystems, sharing data-driven insights, and highlighting opportunities for the North to compete on a global stage.

Across two days, expect lively discussions on key challenges and opportunities facing the tech sector, a startup showcase and networking opportunities, and sessions shaped by regional priorities and insight.

The summit brings together a diverse audience of startups, scaleups, investors, public sector leaders and ecosystem specialists, creating space for meaningful collaboration and practical action. Hosted by TECH SY, the ecosystem development programme for South Yorkshire on behalf of SYMCA.

Day one will be a fast-paced event with a focus on sectors and addressing challenges and opportunities for better tech ecosystem collaboration across the North. There will also be a relaxed startup showcase event at Trafalgar Warehouse from 3pm, with tickets sold separately. Head over to see local tech talent and enjoy networking drinks.

Day two will tackle the key talking points that can connect ecosystems across the North - both on the ground and politically - to drive positive change and growth.
