FOR 2025, Manchester Digital is transforming our flagship Digital Skills Audit into a comprehensive Sector Insights Report.
This new approach goes deeper, combining robust quantitative surveys with focused discussions to gather real insights from tech employers across Greater Manchester. The findings will inform local, regional and national strategies and guide our priorities over the coming years.
This year’s report centres on five key themes: Infrastructure and Ecosystem Support, Business Confidence, Growth and Innovation, Diversity, and People and Skills.
Key Takeaways:
- 64% of tech leaders remain optimistic about growth despite economic uncertainty
- AI is transforming recruitment – 80% say AI skills are now essential
- Funding constraints & regulatory hurdles remain top challenges for scaling businesses
- Diversity at leadership levels remains low – more action is needed
- Digital infrastructure is strong, but transport & office affordability remain barriers
