South Yorkshire Black Tech Expo is a regional gateway into the Black Tech Expo Global Platform connecting talent, enterprise, and opportunity across innovation, business, and community impact.
We are not just an event. We are a movement building an ecosystem where professionals, founders, and communities access the tools, networks, and stages they deserve.
Who is this for?
Building a technology-enabled venture in South Yorkshire?
The Black Tech Founder Accelerator is a programme for Black founders to learn, test and build their MVP with mentors and a cohort of fellow founders at Sheffield Technology Parks. You don't need a finished business or MVP to apply.
