During UK Tech Week, Sheffield Digital is teaming up with Ampere.Events to spotlight and celebrate South Yorkshire’s thriving tech ecosystem. With two of the best research Universities, nationally renowned innovation facilities, an abundance of talent, and competitive operations costs, it’s no surprise South Yorkshire’s capital, Sheffield, has enjoyed remarkable growth in its Startups ecosystem.
We believe (Ssssshhhh)Sheffield has become the secret Startup Capital of the UK, with South Yorkshire the Tuscany to its Florence. We are excited to participate in UK Tech Week, to celebrate the remarkable achievements recently made in South Yorkshire, the often-overlooked tech powerhouse of the North.
Sheffield Digital is the organisation for the people and businesses that make up South Yorkshire’s thriving tech cluster. By connecting, representing and promoting the community, Sheffield Digital helps organisations and individuals to grow their businesses and careers. It runs a highly successful mentoring scheme and brings people together through regular senior leader events and by supporting the regional meetup scene.
Ampere is a founder-focused events and acceleration organisation based in South Yorkshire, running frequently ‘by founders, for founders’ events. Ampere is committed to empowering community, collaboration and growth to strengthen our entrepreneurial ecosystem and assist Founders to achieve excellence. We believe that South Yorkshire is all substance, no hype, and part of our mission is to raise the collective ambition ceiling in this incredible region.
And South Yorkshire is all about those two factors; community and collaboration. We enjoy a culture of open accepting communality which means events are happening all year round.
You can expect a buzz around the clustered but centralised South Yorkshire tech ecosystem for UKTW!
