We are seeking Expressions of Interest (EOI) from local regionally based tech specialist providers with experience of delivering activities aligned to the objectives. Together we will deliver a programme of activity that meet the following objectives: - Deliver projects to support regional tech entrepreneurship and strengthen regional digital ecosystems - this may include harnessing community-building effects of in-person, local programmes to develop strong regional networks of tech founders and innovators, driving further innovation through collaboration, investment readiness, knowledge sharing or signposting further available support for founders. - Promote the strength and competitiveness of all regional tech companies to potential investors - thereby boosting investor confidence, understanding of the sector and inspiring future entrepreneurs to enter the market. - Promote best practice and learnings that can be scaled beyond this programme - facilitate the sharing of insights and best practice across different regional digital ecosystems to encourage peer learning and ecosystem-wide benefits and develop advice to inform future DSIT policy development. - Ensure efforts to support regional tech are sustainable and enduring. Demonstrate how the outputs of the project will continue to benefit the UK tech sector after the initial government funding period has ended, for example through building legacy assets.
