About Manchester Digital

Manchester Digital is the industry body for the North West’s digital and tech sector – one of the UK’s most active and ambitious ecosystems. We back founders from idea to scale, and work across policy, investment and skills to make sure the North is a serious place to build a tech business. We lead programmes that support early-stage growth, connect startups to capital, and strengthen the conditions founders need to succeed. It’s a founder-first approach – practical, connected, and focused on outcomes.

The North’s Next Tech Titans 

The early-stage landscape is shifting. Founders are navigating tougher markets, tighter capital and bigger expectations. This session puts the spotlight on a new wave of startups emerging from one of the UK’s most dynamic tech ecosystems. Each founder has five minutes to pitch - no waffle, no inflated claims, just sharp ideas, early traction and real potential. A snapshot of what’s being built right now, and where the next generation of UK tech is heading.
