Manchester Tech Community Forum đťđŁď¸
âIf youâre building, backing, or supporting a startup in the UK, join us in Manchester for an evening with founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders shaping whatâs next for technology, entrepreneurship, and growth.
âSilicon Mingle Manchester and ACT, the Association for Competitive Technology, are bringing Manchesterâs tech startup community together for an evening of networking, drinks, and conversation at the Club Lounge at Clockwise Manchester. The event will feature a panel discussion on the realities of building and scaling in todayâs tech landscape, including how UK policy and regulatory shifts are shaping funding, market access, product decisions, and growth.
âHere's what to expect:
âPractical perspectives from a Manchester-based founder about what they are building, the expertise they can offer, and what they need to scale
âAn open discussion where startup founders and investors share whatâs working and whatâs getting harder
âDrinks and light bites, with time to network and connect after the discussion
âWhether youâre building, investing, or supporting scaling teams, this is a chance to be part of meaningful discussions, share perspectives, and contribute to conversations that help inform how policy evolves to better support ambitious companies.
âAbout 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 cross-border community, discuss whatâs working (and what isnât) for tech innovators, and carry those insights and relationships from the Developed: UK Tour into broader conversations about digital policy and competitiveness in London.
