As you may know, Norwich has featured in the nationally important #TechNation report for the last three years. Government ministers, policy makers and international business leaders read this report when making investment decisions. It’s vital for the region’s economy that we maintain our high profile.
However, the report is changing. The NEW Tech Nation Survey from Tech City UK is looking at the strength and diversity of regional clusters. If we don’t generate enough responses in the next 7 days, we won’t be included.
What can you do to help ensure Norwich and Norfolk feature in this year’s #TechNation report?
It’s simple – just take the 5-minute survey – and then encourage everyone in your network to do the same. That includes people in your organisation like app developers, website builders and digital designers. You might not think of your business as a ‘tech company’ but if it depends on digital skills, this survey is for you and your team.
In fact, Tech City UK wants to hear from people across the industry. They want to know about the opportunities for high growth businesses, and the quality of education and training. They want to hear from anyone who
- Works in a tech business
- Founded or leads a tech business
- Works in an organisation that supports the tech sector (local government, charity, not for profit organisation)
- Provides services for tech businesses (consulting, legal, accounting, finance etc.)
- Invests in tech businesses
- Teaches digital skills
- Runs a start-up incubator or accelerator.
But hurry – the survey closes Friday 2 February. Have your say now!
The #TechNation reports have transformed the way people see the UK’s digital ecosystem. They have captured the strength, depth and breadth of tech activity across the UK. Crucially – they have revealed the talent in communities such as ours.
The people at Tech City UK tell us that Norfolk returns the most survey responses outside London. Let’s not disappoint them this year. Together, we can make this #TechNation 2018 the best report yet.
