From 2006 to 2013, Techcelerate took upon itself to build the Manchester's tech entrepreneur ecosystem. When GP Bullhound acquired Northern Tech Awards, we ceased operations. In 2018, I am restarting Techcelerate. But this time, our central focus is to help raise investment for tech companies with stronger links to San Francisco, Shanghai, Colombo and India. We see talent as the most important fuel for growth of any tech company.
