We set up Tech North East to shine a light on the thriving digital tech sector that is growing across the region. However, most of the internal and external commentary that is published about our digital tech sector is still limited to giving examples of a handful of companies, often the same companies, that are located within a couple of miles of Newcastle city centre.
Granted Newcastle has a higher density of digital tech companies, but if we only focus on Newcastle this doesn’t portray our region as well as we might. We have a much richer and more diverse digital tech sector, and a lot more to shout about, when we add companies outside of Newcastle to the story.
So, in order to help people understand the real strength and depth of the North East's Digital Tech Sector we've extracted a number of easy to consume lists of Digital Tech/Product companies by geographic areas of the region, i.e. Durham & Darlington, North Tyneside, Gateshead, Sunderland & South Tyneside, Teesside, Newcastle (Established Companies), Newcastle (Emerging Companies), Newcastle (Fledgling Companies) and Newcastle (Digital Service Companies).
More information on Digital Service companies, Service Providers, Worspaces, Knowledge Partners, Workforce Partners and Ecosystem Partners can be found on Tech North East, our growing database of the regions digital tech ecosystem.
These lists are limited to groups of 10, they aren't in any order of importance and are by no means exhaustive as more digital tech companies exist across the region.
Please scroll down to read.
