We want to make sure every business is able to make the most out of every stage of the campaign. To ensure you do, we’ve mapped out a timeline of the 3-month project, as well as the key business benefits to entering.
Our launch event goes lays down the full details of our regional campaign and marks the official opening of Tech Climbers entries. Ahead of entering, the launch gives you a chance to meet our sponsors and associate partners (who are carefully picked to offer a range of start-up support) and hear from influential figures and past winners.
We invite tech businesses like yours to submit your business for consideration for your region's next Tech Climbers list. We ask some non-intrusive questions about your growth ambitions. We also offer the opportunity for anybody to nominate somebody else - a way to recognise businesses that deserve a special mention. We then reach out to any businesses that have been nominated encouraging them to enter.
Our expert judges meet to consider all entries and agree on which businesses will make the region's next list.
The main event! Everyone gathers to celebrate all the entrants and the finalised Tech Climbers list. The evening highlights voices from local start-ups, as well as other key figures from the region, and gives you a chance to connect with like-minded individuals and supportive businesses.
Be sure to stay up to date with the action by following our socials (if you haven’t already), as we’re always sharing news, opportunities and events that you can take advantage of.
