Tech WM, the not-for-profit behind Birmingham Tech Week, is partnering with Aston University to create a scale-up programme.
The project will help local tech startups and spin-outs become international scale-ups.
The partnership emerged following behind-the-scenes discussions at the Birmingham Tech Week festival, which took place between 16-20 October.
The new programme will help students, entrepreneurs and early-stage businesses access world-class support, investment opportunities and local tech talent.
It will be based in the recently announced Tech Hub based at the Bruntwood SciTech facility ‘iCentrum’, as part of TechWM’s £1m investment into the West Midlands tech sector.
