Leeds Tech Community Mixer

Organised by Association for Competetive Technology X Shoo Social Media

Didn’t get a chance to join us at our Startup Growth Showcase earlier in the day? Or passing through Leeds on the way to TechNExt?

Join Leeds-based Shoo Social Media and ACT for Leeds Tech Community Mixer, a happy hour with the startups, tech ecosystem leaders, and investors shaping the local tech scene. Whether you’re building, investing, or supporting growth in the ecosystem, we’d love to have you join us for our rooftop mixer.

​What to expect:

  • ​Conversations around scaling, funding, hiring, cross-border growth, and building in the local ecosystem
  • Drinks and light bites
  • Plenty of time to network and make real connections

​About Developed: UK

This event is part of Developed: UK, an event series that brings together founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders to discuss local startup realities and how UK-level policy decisions increasingly shape the way teams build, launch, and scale. The goal is simple: build a stronger country-wide and cross-border community, discuss what’s working (and what isn’t) for tech innovators, and carry those insights and relationships from Developed: UK into broader conversations about digital policy and competitiveness in London.

​About the Association for Competitive Technology (ACT)

ACT is a global membership organisation representing technology startups, scaleups, and independent developers building across the digital economy. We work with governments around the world to advocate for policies that reward and inspire tech-driven innovation while providing resources to help you raise capital, scale globally, and create jobs.

This event is aimed at: Startups, students, academics and anyone with an interest in the Leeds tech ecosystem.
