Tech Talent Expo 2025

Want to know more about exciting regional developments in the tech sector? Maybe you have wondered what it would be like to work within the world of digital and tech here in the North East? or perhaps you want to come and ask an expert about their field? then Tech Talent Expo is here for you!

The Digital and STEM sector in the North East is growing and changing all of the time, through our Digital Careers programme we are offering you the chance to come and meet Digital and STEM businesses from around the North East. Whether you are a job seeker, career changer, currently studying, or have left education and have a general interest in the sectors, you can come and chat with businesses about what they do, the job roles and training opportunities they have and how to get into the line of work. We also encourage people who may not have much experience with tech or digital, to come along and chat to experts and even engage with some of the tech we have on hand, we absolutely encourage you to have a go on a VR headset or try some scratch coding!

This event is open earlier in the day to secondary schools and colleges/ sixth forms from 12 noon until 3pm, if this is something you would like to get involved in from a school perspective, please get in touch.

If you have any questions, or are a tech or digital business here in Tyne and Wear and want to get involved, please get in touch with our Community Outreach Coordinator Róisín Coull - roisin.coull@sunderlandsoftwarecity.com

Please be aware that there will be filming and photography on the day, please let staff know if you do not wish to be included in any footage, thank you.
