Looking to share your expertise with the community?
Can you support Startups and partner with us?
The Startup Activator will give businesses an unbiased and unvarnished view of the landscape and an introduction to all the programmes, investment and support that is on offer across the Greater Manchester region.
We are looking for partners who we can signpost Startups to as a go-to resource for Founders who are looking to reduce their chances of failing. Our goal is to make positive and worthwhile introductions.
Partners will help us to shape content we’ll be producing that should be the staple of the resource for the next few years, so you’ll get lots of brand exposure and have the opportunity be able to build up trust across the community. We’ll also be looking for speakers and help with workshops.
Can you be a part of leading conversations shaping the future of skills and talent in the region?
Conference Day 2023.
The
Digital Skills Festival Conference coming up in February is where we
announce results from the skills audit to a room of tech employers,
policy makers, government and others all attending to inform their
recruitment strategy.
We'll be identifying new or emerging trends
as well as key issues that the industry faces and skill sets and job
roles of growing importance.
If you're interested in a
conversation about sponsorship of the event, get in touch. It will be a
great opportunity to expose a lot of those in attendance to your
expertise, whilst also having an input into the discussions on the day.
