We, Embeddable, like so many other people and businesses are proud to call the Tees Valley home. The Tees Valley is a region of pioneers, innovation and technology success, but each of us define ‘innovation’ and ‘success’ differently. We aim to clearly define what innovation means and how our region is innovative.
Beyond that, we want to understand the challenges that individuals and businesses face when it comes to innovation and growing with technology.
With that in mind, tech-first and tech-focused businesses make up only a small portion of the innovation that takes place in our region. The TVDIS aims to understand the current state of technology and innovation in all businesses, not just those with an inherent tech focus.
The Tees Valley Digital Innovation Survey aims to highlight barriers, opportunities and the current state of innovation in our region to drive further support and success in a single report for use by business leaders, regional decision makers and institutions. Your responses help us to do just that.
We’ve got a ticket to Middlesbrough Frontend 2024 to give away, with previous speakers from the likes of Google and Monzo.
Win one of ten Independent Teesside cards, giving you discounts at some hidden (and not so hidden gems) on our doorstep.
Complete the survey for your chance to snag a day pass and try out Middlesbrough’s bustling coworking space. We’ve got five to give away.
Every unique submission will be entered into a prize draw to win one of ten £25 Amazon gift vouchers.
We help businesses to turn their technology ideas into solutions through embedding knowledge and expertise, and it all starts with a conversation.
