GRAFT

After an incredible first year establishing itself as a standout event for the Northern tech community, GRAFT returns even bigger for 2026.

Join CEOs, founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders for a one-of-a-kind event dedicated to scaling tech businesses, unlocking funding, and showcasing the cutting-edge innovations shaping tomorrow.

This must-attend conference is your opportunity to:

• Learn from expert-led keynotes and global tech leaders.
• Engage in dynamic workshops designed for startups and scaleups.
• Network with founders, funders, and policymakers driving the Northern tech revolution.

Why Attend?

The North remains an untapped tech powerhouse. While London attracts over 70% of UK tech investment, the North claims just 6% - but this is changing. GRAFT will show you how to access these opportunities and drive growth.

Expect:

• Inspiring keynotes: Learn from industry leaders.
• Interactive workshops: Get actionable strategies to tackle scaling, funding, and exiting your business.
• Unparalleled networking: Founders and funders wear colour-coded lanyards for seamless connections.

From startups seeking traction to scaleups eyeing international markets, this event delivers real value - not just talks. Come with questions, leave with answers.

Don’t miss out – tickets are limited, and this is an event you won’t want to miss!

The lanyard you will be given will be connected to the ticket you choose to purchase.
