Digital Her
We’re delighted to announce the launch of our EnableHER: Leaning into Leadership Programme - Part of Digital Her.
With the commitment of our new sponsor for this programme, 6point6 | Part of Accenture, we’ll enable fully funded training opportunities for women across Greater Manchester who are in emerging and mid-level leadership roles to thrive as leaders in tech, not just survive.
Empowering women leaders can create a more inclusive and dynamic industry that drives groundbreaking advancements and equitable opportunities for all.
We’ll share details of how to enrol on this programme soon.
If you would like to register your interest please contact emma@jiado.net

The Startup Activator
The Startup Activator programme continues this month. Check out all the things you can get involved in below!
Are you an early-stage startup founder?
Manchester Digital's Startup Activator will help startups in the Greater Manchester region maximise success, taking you from idea to early traction stage with all the knowledge and resources you need to flourish.
The programme will include exclusive founder network meet-ups, workshops and access to an active supportive community which includes investors, trusted professional service support and more.
Founders Meet Up
Thurs | 11th July 2024 | 9:00- 11:00
Come and join us at the next Founder Meet Up on Thursday 11th July at our Tech Incubator. This is an opportunity to connect with other founders, meet our new Startups Programme Manager Alice, and find out more about the Start Up Activator, including our new fully funded support kicking off this month.
Start Up Activator Roadshows
Out Start Up Activator Roadshows are kicking off in July taking place across each of the 10 GM boroughs. Each will feature a workshop on the Key Foundations for Growth, delivered by our Start Up Coach; an interactive breakout session, giving you time to reflect and use the workshop content to build or refine an immediate action and priorities plan, and the opportunity to review / bounce ideas with other founders; and an opportunity to learn more about the in-depth cohort programme coming later in the year.
Can you help startups? We’re looking for partners
We are looking for partners to support this programme and help us deliver 12 months of valuable information and insight to the next generation of tech businesses and make sure that Greater Manchester continues to grow great businesses.
