Startup Activator
TLT Startup to Scaleup Labs
Raising investment and scaling a startup is tough - but the right knowledge and network can make the difference.
This half-day event is built for founders and early-stage leaders who want to cut through the jargon, understand the investment landscape, and sharpen their strategy to secure growth.
Open Doors. Back Local Talent.
Manchester Digital is running two programmes that support Mayor Andy Burnham’s vision of an inclusive region with technical pathways for everyone:
- T Connect: real-world experience for local T Level students
- Grad Recharge: a fresh start for STEM graduates pivoting into tech
Your business can support these projects by hosting a short placement, setting a live project brief or offering mentoring or a career talk.
