With over 150 members, we are made up of IT organisations, large corporate employers in the region, consultants, technology hubs, education providers, local government and suppliers to the industry. We are an industry-led initiative focusing on growing the tech sector in the North East and we rely on the support of our region’s organisations to help us achieve regional IT growth, promote our region externally, develop skills and education, and support regional research and development. We are passionate to see our region – and our sector – prosper. DYNAMO CLUSTERS Dynamo is trailblazing and supporting development of the region’s fast growing digital sector by developing a number of digital clusters and special interest groups. These champion business growth and innovation and lead regional development specialist areas like digital construction and cross cutting issues such as skills. Effective clusters are well-developed concentrations of related business working together and they have real impact in terms of increasing productivity and operational efficiency, stimulating innovation and increasing commercialisation. We want to ensure our region builds on its incredible expertise and establishes a truly global reputation for digital business. That’s why we’re investing in digital/IT clusters that will deliver greater regional collaboration and innovation between digital, software and technology businesses, the education sector and and public institutions. And because we’re Dynamo, we’re ensuring developments are industry led and meet specific sector needs. Visit www.dynamonortheast.co.uk to find out more!
