Leeds Today covers the latest Leeds tech news from startup launches and funding rounds to innovation programmes and the digital economy shaping the city's future. Leeds anchors Yorkshire's digital economy, with the city and wider region with over 9,700 digital businesses across West Yorkshire generating billions in economic output and growing 125% faster than the national average.
The city's tech ecosystem spans cybersecurity, healthtech, fintech, AI, and digital services. Major players including TPP, Cognisys, and Sky Betting & Gaming sit alongside a growing wave of startups launching from accelerators like Nexus at the University of Leeds and the Propel Healthtech programme backed by the West Yorkshire Investment Zone.
Leeds Digital Festival, one of the UK's largest open tech festivals, attracts thousands of attendees each year. Growing venture capital activity through firms like Northern Gritstone, GC Angels, and Mercia Ventures is fuelling the next generation of Leeds tech companies, while university partnerships with Leeds Beckett and the University of Leeds continue to build a deep talent pipeline for the sector.
We report on the Leeds tech coming from companies building, scaling, and innovating in Leeds covering product launches, investment rounds, partnerships, and the people driving the city's reputation as a serious tech hub.
