Ambassadors
Are we building a list of distinguished names from across the world of tech and tech-enabled business? Absolutely. It’s important to gather know-how, expertise, prestige and so on. But our Ambassador Programme is so much more than that. Silicon Yorkshire was built for the whole technology community and, as we grow, you’ll find the whole tech community represented here. We'll be appointing more Ambassadors soon!
