Tech Nation is a ground breaking series of reports on the UK’s digital tech ecosystem. Over the last three years – it has captured the strength, depth and breadth of activity across the UK and highlighted the emerging tech cluster in Norwich. It has revealed the scale of the digital tech sector, captured its growth, and – crucially – developed an understanding of the characteristics of the communities driving it.
Norfolk Chamber is a Tech Nation Community Partner and we want to help make Tech Nation 2018, the best report yet. But we need help from the Norfolk businesses community. Last year the survey had 2,700 responses, this year they hope to reach 11,000 responses, and to hear from all tech communities in the UK to allow Tech Nation to provide the most up to date and insightful data on the UK tech community in 2018.
Nova Fairbank, Public Affairs Manager, Norfolk Chamber of Commerce said:
“ICT and digital creative is one of the fastest growing sectors in the UK and a major driver for the economy in Norfolk. Norwich is now a recognised Tech City and has strengths in digital advertising and marketing, telecommunications and networking. The previous Tech Nation report showed that there were over 5,300 digital jobs in Norwich helping drive a digital GVA of £148 million.
“We want to hear from you on topics such as diversity of the tech sector in your local area, on opportunities for high growth businesses and the quality of education and training.”
The closing date for responses is: 02 February 2017 and only takes 5 minutes to complete – have your say now!
