A major new organisation designed to strengthen West Yorkshire’s technology sector is being launched with backing from the West Yorkshire Combined Authority.

Tech West Yorkshire will operate across Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield, Calderdale and Kirklees, bringing together technology businesses, universities, investors, entrepreneurs and skills providers under a single regional banner.

Its central aim is straightforward, to connect people and companies across the region more effectively and help build a stronger, more resilient tech ecosystem that supports economic growth throughout West Yorkshire.
