This event has finished.
We brought together digital business leaders from across the Tees Valley to ask whether there’s a gap between the structured business networks and the informal meetups already here, and if there is, what a practical first step would look like.
The discussion was held under the Chatham House Rule, and drew on findings from our Tees Valley Digital Innovation Survey 2026.
We’ll share a summary of what we heard here once everyone in the room has had the chance to review it.
