Leeds Startup Growth Showcase🗣️📈
Meet the startups, tech ecosystem leaders, and investors shaping the Leeds tech scene! Join us for an interactive, founder-focused programme, co-hosted with Leeds-based Shoot Social Media, where startups and tech experts will share what they’re building, how they’re contributing to the local ecosystem, and the tools and strategies they’ve used to grow.
What to expect:
Startup spotlights from local tech founders and industry specialists about the strategies and tools they have used to grow and innovate
Hear from ACT about our work with UK policymakers and what we’re hearing from teams scaling globally
Enjoy some light bites and drinks after the showcase wraps-up (~18:00) at our Leeds Tech Community Mixer on the roof
About Developed: UK
This event is part of Developed: UK, an event series that brings together founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders to discuss local startup realities and how UK-level policy decisions increasingly shape the way teams build, launch, and scale. The goal is simple: build a stronger country-wide and cross-border community, discuss what’s working (and what isn’t) for tech innovators, and carry those insights and relationships from Developed: UK into broader conversations about digital policy and competitiveness in London.

ACT is a global membership organisation representing technology startups, scaleups, and independent developers building across the digital economy. We work with governments around the world to advocate for policies that reward and inspire tech-driven innovation while providing resources to help you raise capital, scale globally, and create jobs.
