Tech SY Summit
ClimbUK was built on a simple belief: collaboration is what makes regions thrive.
We exist to support and showcase business ecosystems from across the UK. Our national tour and the Climb festival are only part of the equation - we also back other initiatives that are strengthening regional growth and connectivity.
That’s why we’re proud to support TECH SY’s South Yorkshire Tech Summit as a Partner Sponsor, building on a shared mission to power ambitious founders, investors and scaling SMEs across the North and beyond.
The Summit brings together founders, industry leaders, investors, academics and the public sector to accelerate innovation, strengthen collaboration, and showcase the growing ambition of South Yorkshire’s tech ecosystem.
If you’re building, backing, or scaling in the region, it’s one to have in the diary.
