Celebration of city's top tech thinkers

that was the BUDDING tech tycoons need to be thinking about employee handbooks as much as Elon Musk message from panels of entrepreneurs and experts gathered to celebrate the region's tech successes.

On Thursday I went to The Stables, off Lower Byrom Street, for the launch of this year's Tech Climbers List in Greater Manchester.

The annual list - now open for nominations for 2024 - aims to celebrate the top performing product-led tech firms in the region. Previous businesses to have been recognised include robotic automation company Digitech Oasis, property app Housr, and risk solution platform Red Flag Alert.

After we'd all had our pastries and coffee, Tech Climbers founder Anna Heyes explained the event had started in Liverpool and proved so popular that a Manchester event was launched too. She said we were here to 'showcase and celebrate' city tech firms and added: "We want to tell the best story for GM." The first panel saw professional advisers share their thoughts on Manchester's tech ecosystem and on the key challenges facing tech founders.
