Work is underway on a refreshed and expanded version of the Leeds Tech Map – almost five years after the original design became a fixture across offices and meeting rooms throughout the region.

Leeds tech ecosystem builder Stuart Clarke MBE, who featured on our Northern Leaders list again this year, is behind the updated map which will again provide a visual snapshot of the city’s tech ecosystem.

Leeds-based tech firms are now invited to put themselves forward for inclusion through a competition called ‘The Techs Factor’.

To be considered, businesses must have a software development element at the core of their work and the majority of their tech team based in Leeds. All businesses that make it onto the final map will receive a printed copy when the new version is launched in February 2026.
