SME Membership
techUK supports SMEs, helping them access new opportunities and build valuable relationships.
SME member benefits
Over 65% of our 1,100+ members are SMEs. Whether you're growing your business, entering new markets, securing public sector contracts, or boosting sales, we provide the support, connections, and insights you need.
Through our SME community, we help organisations raise the profile of their product or service, access new markets, and connect with customers, partners, investors and decision makers to assist with their UK growth strategy.
The core benefits of membership are:
Access new opportunities: Connect with programmes, initiatives and activities designed to help your business identify and pursue growth opportunities.
Build your network: Develop relationships with industry leaders, customers, investors, partners and peers.
Share your expertise: Demonstrate thought leadership through events, content and industry engagement.
Accelerate growth: Use techUK's platform, community and network to support business development and commercial success.
How does membership work?
When you join techUK, your whole organisation gets access to everything we do – including access to over 500 events a year, around 90 groups and strategic committees, plus reports, white papers, blogs, and newsletters covering a range of critical themes for UK tech.
SME member fees
Membership fees are calculated on the size of the company applying to join techUK.
There are a number of factors including type of company, UK headcount, and UK turnover that input into the calculation. The first step towards membership is always a meeting with our Membership team where we can determine your annual fee.
Fees start from £1,240 + VAT per annum.
How does techUK define an SME?
We define SME members using the official European standard of an SME (small and medium-sized enterprise) which is up to 250 employees and/or £44m GBP turnover. You can see the full SME definition here.
Why organisations join techUK
When you join techUK, you'll gain industry access, insider insight, business impact, return on investment, and policy influence. You'll join a UK-wide community where you can build relationships; access thought leadership and sector programmes that flag opportunities early; attend networking events, and access a direct line to government that can help you to shape policy together.
Will techUK benefit my organisation?
We support organisations of every size, and you'll find the value varies with your scale. If you're an SME, you'll gain practical, close-contact support: market engagement sessions, procurement opportunities, networking, and policy work on priorities such as R&D tax credits and public procurement access. If you're a larger organisation, you'll draw on our reach: input into national policy and international trade, flagship events and sponsorship that raise your profile with government, and leadership roles on councils and working groups.
