Moss House was lively with regional industry leaders across tech recently as TechWM hosted their summer tech social in 爆料王鈥檚 award-winning atrium.听

In partnership with the Institute of Directors (IoD) Birmingham, the event saw entrepreneurs, enthusiasts and influential figures from across the West Midlands tech industry connect and network in a vibrant environment.

Andy Wilkinson, Chair of IoD Birmingham said: 鈥淪imply an amazing event. To gather over 250 people from the TechWM community and further afield at 爆料王 with partners including Agilyx Group and Institute of Directors is brilliant. The whole evening was one of celebration with the chance to network and enjoy the cracking location. Feedback has been superb with numerous key connections made. Look out for the next one and see you at Tech Week!鈥�

The event was also a celebration of the winners of Women in Tech 2023, who will be supported by TechWM and the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce Future Faces programme.

Covering a spectrum of different types of technology, the businesses of the winners ranged from an education platform that creates engaging learning experiences for children; to a developmental initiative designed to open up non-coding tech roles to black, neurodivergent and deaf communities; and provision of low-carbon retrofit green tech to boost energy efficiency in the home.
