Hosted by Bruntwood SciTech and The Growth Company, the event will be held in Manchester at Sister - Renold Building on Thursday, January 29th, from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM. The showcase is also supported by Google Startups, Innovate UK, and others.
EVENT INFO
Manchester startup scene in 2025:
Rapid Growth and High Investment 
​
  • Economic Driver: Greater Manchester is projected to have one of the fastest-growing city economies in the UK, with 2.1% annual GVA growth predicted for the next three years.
  • Startup Activity: There are over 10,000 digital and tech businesses in Greater Manchester, including roughly 1,600 startups and scaleups.
  • Investment Surge: The city is a top destination for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), with a £5 billion GVA fintech sector and a major hub for AI and cybersecurity.
  • Scale-Up Success: Companies like Jyrney and React XR have moved from "Ones to Watch" to the main Tech Climbers list, indicating a maturing ecosystem

Challenges and Outlook
  • Regional Funding Gap: While growing, many startups still report a need for better access to venture capital compared to London, with some opening satellite offices in the capital to bridge this gap.
  • Future Focus: The 2025 agenda focuses on addressing diversity within the ecosystem and promoting more targeted support for startups moving into the scaling stage. ​

In summary, the Manchester startup community is thriving in 2025, driven by a mixture of public/private investment, strong academic backing, and a high-quality, relatively affordable, and livable environment that attracts talent.
