Digital Connectivity is essential to running a successful business – from having suitable internet connectivity and mobile phone coverage, to utilising smart technology to support seamless daily operations, drive growth and maintain a competitive edge. There are so many ways that the right digital infrastructure can help our local firms grow.

Tees Valley Combined Authority wants to make sure the region has the right infrastructure and support in place so that you can get on with what you do best: running your business.

Come and speak to their Digital team at an upcoming drop-in session running across the region, to share your experiences and help shape our future support and interventions.

They’d like to understand:

If your internet connectivity and mobile coverage is suitable for your current and future business needs
How your business could benefit from smart technology
Any other digital services you think would improve the region

TVCA is particularly keen to talk with Digital and Creative businesses in Hartlepool and Middlesbrough, as we will be looking at how the Tees Valley Investment Zone can support world class digital connectivity in these key cluster areas.

However, businesses from all sectors and all Local Authority areas are encouraged to attend a drop in near them, to help shape the Combined Authority’s wider digital support offer.

Sessions will be taking place on:

Tuesday 14 April, 09:00-17:00, at Stockton Employment & Training Hub, Stockton
Wednesday 15 April, 09:00-17:00, at Teesside Launchpad, Teesside University Victoria Building, Middlesbrough
Wednesday 22 April, 09:00-17:00, at the BIS, Hartlepool
Tuesday 28 April, 09:00-17:00, at the National Horizons Centre, Darlington
Wednesday 29 April, 09:00-17:00, at The Palace Hub, Redcar
