Cluster Activity in 2024
Launched in November 2021, the Digital Tech Cluster supports leaders of digital tech companies to grow their businesses. We offer a comprehensive business support programme and a Peer Network where members can share their experience and learn from others. Based in Sci-Tech Daresbury but reaching out to help businesses across the UK, the cluster is one of six led by the Science and Technology Facilities Council, part of UKRI. All support is fully-funded and provided for free.
Business Support
In 2023 we supported 274 leaders of digital tech companies via our business support programme and received great feedback with an average score of 4.7/5 (94%). Most of our workshops are delivered online.

Free Peer Network
We have created an exclusive Peer Network for leaders of scaling software/SaaS/PaaS product companies, where we can offer more-bespoke support.
The Peer Network is free to join and enables leaders to share with and learn from people going through the same issues. Support includes online meetups for people leading on sales/marketing, tech development, and for female tech leaders. There is also pitch practice for those looking to raise investment and 1-1 mentoring.
We are looking to grow the Peer Network in 2024 from 60 people to 100 and improve the offer, based on analysis of the recent survey of our members. The new application form is ready for you to apply here.
Community Events
I have written a separate article that focuses on forthcoming events run by partners for digital technology companies. This article will be updated regularly over the course of the year. You can access the article here.
