Supporting Startups

Software City has supported the growth of over 500 SMEs in the North East of England since our inception in 2008. We are inspiring and enabling the growth of the digital sector, establishing the region as one of the world’s leading destinations for innovation and enterprise.

Bleeding-edge technologies

We bring together the best of public, private and educational sectors to encourage the adoption of advanced digital technologies, driving the development of world-class businesses.

We actively collaborate with organisations such as Digital Catapult and Tech Nation to deliver new initiatives that accelerate the development of the region’s digital economy, creating commercial opportunities and attracting talent and investment to the North East.

Providing Support

Together with our specialist partners we help to provide the best possible support to the local SME community. We recently teamed up with local law firm Muckle LLP and consultancy experts RSM to deliver bespoke support services to startups looking to grow.

We also work closely with partners including Sunderland City Council, the University of Sunderland and Sunderland College to ensure our region has the facilities, access to opportunities, support, connections and skills needed to compete globally within a digital age.

If you’re a regional business keen to grow, please get in touch to see how we can help.
