A decade of giving
Northern tech a
global voice.
Tech North Advocates is the independent, private-sector coalition uniting leaders, founders and investors to champion the North of England as a world-class hub for technology and digital business.
Ten years on, the mission is bigger than ever.
Founded in 2016, Tech North Advocates has spent a decade connecting the people building the North's tech economy. We support start-ups and high-growth businesses to find investment, talent and opportunity — and we make sure the North's voice is heard in the rooms where decisions get made.
Today, as a proud hub within the Global Tech Advocates network, we connect Northern founders to a community of more than 40,000 leaders across 25+ cities and regions worldwide.
We're part of something bigger.
Tech North Advocates is one of 25+ hubs in the Global Tech Advocates network — the world's first truly international grassroots tech community. From London and the Nordics to India, China and Africa, our advocates open doors on every continent.
