At Tech Climbers, we’re on a mission to showcase and celebrate the amazing, fast-growing tech businesses that continue to lead and establish Liverpool City Region’s digital hub.   

With a strong portfolio of businesses innovating within the creative, medical & health, financial, gaming and education sectors, and support available from accelerators, incubators and investors, the future is bright for the city region as it joins Greater Manchester to attract investment to the north – and we look forward to showcasing this year’s growth and opportunities. 

Home to over 1.6 million people and boasting a £43bn economy, Liverpool is poised for a new era of opportunity, set to increase wages, accelerate housing delivery, and boost the productivity of the entire region.  

Last year’s Tech Climbers List reflected a surge in growth ambition, with 83% of entrants building product-led AI solutions and 79% actively seeking funding in the previous 12 months. This year, we’ll begin to see how those companies benefit from the Innovation Zone’s major assets alongside new support from the Growth Plan, which is set to create a decade of opportunity by accelerating investment and shaping a more supportive environment for ambitious tech startups to scale. 

But how do we ensure that the £11bn investment pipeline delivers tangible benefits for early-stage businesses in its first year, as well as for the more established players already scaling across the region? How do today’s leading innovators feel about the opportunities and expectations that come with this new phase of growth? 

Join the tech community on Tuesday, the 10th of February at Cotton Exchange as we bring together expert panels made up of investors and founders to dive into the landscape and discuss the topics that are dominating the industry.
