Manchester Tech for Good Catalyst Launch

Join us for the formal launch of the Manchester Tech for Good Catalyst—an ambitious three-year programme designed to strengthen Manchester’s tech for good ecosystem and help digital innovation deliver meaningful social impact across the city.

Convened with Manchester City Council, Manchester Digital and techUK, and delivered by the Tech for Good Alliance, the Catalyst will bring together technology businesses, charities, social enterprises, public-sector partners, funders and community organisations. Through practical collaboration, skills-sharing and new cross-sector connections, the programme will help ensure Manchester’s thriving digital economy contributes to more inclusive, resilient and equitable communities.

At this ticketed launch event, the Chief Executive of Manchester City Council, Tom Stannard will formally introduce the programme and set out its importance to the city’s wider ambitions for inclusive growth. Guests will hear from the founding partners about the opportunity ahead, meet others working at the intersection of technology and social impact, and find out how to get involved over the next three years.

Whether you are a tech business looking to contribute expertise, a charity or social enterprise tackling complex challenges, or a partner committed to inclusive innovation, this event is an opportunity to be part of a shared movement for change in Manchester.
