We're bringing together twenty selected technology companies from across the North with public sector agencies and corporates, for an afternoon focused on where the opportunities are and how to access them.
The afternoon does three things:
- Puts the products and services being built across the North in AI, data, cyber, autonomy and quantum in front of the organisations that could use them
- Gives public sector agencies a platform to set out their priorities and the challenges they're working on
- Has corporates in the room explaining how their procurement works and where the opportunities are
Who we're looking for
You need an innovative product or service that could make a significant difference to the public sector. That's the bar, and it's the main thing we'll assess.
It doesn't matter if you've never worked with the public sector before, or what sector you currently sell into.
Applications are open, and places are selected
Twenty companies will be in the room. Every application is assessed by us against that bar, so the agencies and corporates attending are meeting companies that have already been through a selection process.
What selected companies get
- A two minute pitch to the room
- A place at a hosted table, forty minutes, chosen from your stated preferences
- Two representatives per company
- An invitation to the evening reception
How to apply
Applications close on August 10th. We'll let you know by August 17th if you have been successful..
If you are a public sector agency or a corporate looking to understand more about the startup innovation capabilities of the region please get in touch with katie@manchesterdigital.com to discuss.
Evening reception
From 5pm the event opens into a drinks reception for the wider tech community. This event is open to all and you can register here.
