Manchester City Council

Manchester continues to lead the way as one of Europe’s most dynamic and digitally ambitious cities. We’re proud to once again support the Manchester Digital Skills Festival 2026, a celebration of the innovation, talent and opportunity that define our city’s thriving tech ecosystem.

Our Doing Digital Together Strategy is making a real impact, from expanding access to digital skills and careers, to supporting the growth of our digital economy that’s home to global names and groundbreaking startups alike. Manchester’s strengths in AI, gaming, cyber, and immersive tech are not only creating jobs, but shaping the future of how we live and work.

This year, we’re especially proud to sponsor the Ecosystem Partner strand, a reflection of our commitment to building a connected, inclusive digital future. We want every resident to feel empowered to take part in Manchester’s digital success story, and every business to see Manchester as the place to grow, innovate, and thrive.
