Connecting the East Midlands tech and startups ecosystem
The talent and ambition is here. Now we're giving it a home. Real communities, real events, and a region that's finally finding its voice.
A network to help East Midlands tech compete & lead
From Nottingham to Derby, we're building the infrastructure this region has always needed. We provide peer networks, expert knowledge, and a platform for people doing the work to be seen and heard.

Regular meetups, socials, and events built around real relationships in a supportive community.

Speak at events, share your story and become part of the region's growing tech narrative.
Meet the talent

Share your expertise
Sponsor workshops, host events, or put your people in front of a community that loves to learn.
Back the region
Whether you're a university, employer or investor, backing us means putting the East Midlands on the national stage.
Our mission
Tech East Midlands exists to close the gap between potential and investment. The region has world-class universities, deep engineering roots, and a startup culture punching well above its weight. But too much of that talent leaves, too much capital looks elsewhere, and too many founders build in isolation.
We're here to change that. By connecting communities, amplifying the people doing the work, and giving the region the unified voice it's always deserved.
OUR COMMUNITIES
Our communities
Multiple cities, one mission. Tech East Midlands is home to Built in Notts and Built in Derby.
Our fast-growing community for Nottingham's tech, startup and creative scene. This warm and accessible network is founder-centric, with weekly meetups, monthly socials and regular workshops. It's the place where people fall in love with the ecosystem.
Same playbook, Derby's DNA. Leveraging the city's strong engineering heritage and university partnerships, we're building on an existing tech community to bring opportunities the city deserves.
What’s coming up
Come find your people. We run regular meetups, socials and workshops across the region. Open to everyone.
