Rome isn’t the only city in the world that was built on seven hills. Sheffield is the home of two universities, a flourishing digital tech scene, and a boom in startups. It’s going from peak to peak, and underpinned by the ‘Four Pillars of Sheffield’s Digital Tech Identity’, namely:

Learning Technologies

Even before the advent of UFI(Universities For Learning) / Learndirect in 1998, Sheffield has been at the heart of learning technologies and solutions for the education sector, and a strong ecosystem has evolved over the last twenty years or so.

Creative Technologies

Sheffield’s investment in the creative sector, after the decline in the traditional coal mining and steel industry, is paying dividends. From the traditional music, film, theatre, and arts through to the digital and games sector, Sheffield really is at the forefront of the creative sector.

Movement Technologies

Sheffield has a range of research and development and businesses utilising the technology of movement – from transportation of goods and people through to autonomous vehicles and robotics.

Advanced Manufacturing

The Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) is a hub for technology global brands such as Boeing, Rolls-Royce, McLaren Automotive drawn to Sheffield’s expertise in research and development from AR, VR, AI, Machine Learning etc.

The last few years has seen a massive growth in the tech and digital sector in the North. Between 2015 and 2019, £74m was invested in emerging technologies; and in 2019, the region boomed with 196 new tech startups.

Sheffield has a very long history with computing, with the University of Sheffield being one of the first educational establishments to offer Software Engineering as an undergraduate degree in the 1980’s; and also being one of the founding members of The Institute of Coding to tackle the digital skills gap.

With home grown companies such as Plusnet, The Floow, the Tribal Group, Sumo Digital, and Zoo Digital; through to companies such as Jet2, EMIS, SkyBet who have been attracted by the talent and tech ecosystem in Sheffield, this is still the start of what is to come.
