Yorkshire
Find support and useful resources, make new contacts and discover events in your local community
Our Entrepreneur Engagement Managers (EEMs) are helping to build a national network of ambitious tech entrepreneurs. I'm Jem Henderson, your EEM on the ground in Yorkshire.
Yorkshire is the heart of the country and a real hub of digital innovation and growth. I'm keen to help amplify the fantastic tech ecosystem we're building here.
This page is your directory to help you find the best resources available in the region. Need something else? Contact me for help with plugging into our UK-wide entrepreneur network, applying for Tech Nation's growth programmes, and everything inbetween.
