A new direction for North East tech economy champions Dynamo following its merger with another sector body will include more events and benefits for company members.
David Dunn, CEO of the membership body, which last spring merged with Sunderland Software City which he also leads, said Dynamo had refocussed to exert more influence. In a meeting at Gateshead's PROTO, Mr Dunn said the two organisations were well placed to influence public sector spending at a local level and had established good links with the Government and the Labour Party.
He said: "Tech has historically been thought of as a sector in and around London and we need to change that assumption. There are such great companies and great success stories here in the north east and we need to aggregate those stories into a compelling and consistent message for people to hear outside of the region – and even outside of the UK."
