Building Stronger Local Economies
Economic growth and productivity is reliant on digital investment in our nations and regions.
techUK promotes collaboration between the UK tech sector and the public, private, and third sectors. We work with local authorities, devolved government and communities across the nations and regions to identify digital solutions to local challenges, understand local priorities, build partnerships, and help deliver change.

Digital Dialogues
Throughout these conversations, we speak with tech leaders, founders or those who are working in the tech sector across the UK. It's a chance to to profile some of these leaders, find out more about them, but also speak to those who are based outside of London and the southeast and whose businesses are based in other parts of the country, making sure we're talking about the importance of our local tech ecosystems to the whole of the UK's tech sector.
