Event overview

On 12 November from 15:30 – 17:00, we're hosting a Public sector SME partnering and networking event. This event offers technology companies large and small the opportunity to network, learn from one another and find new ways of collaborating and forging partnerships. This event takes place in person at the techUK offices.

This event connects large and small/medium sized suppliers (SMEs) who operate in, or wish to operate in, the public sector tech market.

Benefits and takeaways

It is a chance for the SMEs in the room to showcase their capabilities and explore the services they can offer through partnering with a large prime, you can also partner up with another SME, and if you are a large organisation you can explore how to improve the services you deliver through having SMEs as part of the supply chain, and both SMEs and large organisations will expand the community of organisations they work with.

The event is of mutual benefit to both SMEs and large organisations operating in the public sector, so if you're interested, book your place!
