We are an industry led group with the core mission to ‘Grow the North East Tech Economy’ through collaboration, innovation, skills. We are a voice for the sector regionally and nationally generating ‘noise’ to promote the region as a hotspot for Tech/digital business.

Dynamo is made up of tech organisations, large corporate employers in the region, consultants, technology hubs, education providers, local government, and suppliers to the industry. We rely on the support of our region’s organisations to help us achieve regional tech growth, promote our region externally, develop skills and education, and support regional research and development.

We are passionate to see our region – and our sector – prosper!

We have over 165 members, representing the 40,000+ people who work in IT in the region and helping to fill the 3,000+ vacancies from sector growth.

Digital Talent Engine
Over the past year we have been working with North of Tyne Combined Authority to develop a project to support the growth of the digital workforce in the region: this is the Digital Talent Engine project. There is wide recognition that to support sustainable growth of the digital sector in North of Tyne we need to focus on the development of the talent pipeline. Employers who are members of Dynamo recognize that they have a key role to play in talent pipeline development. Dynamo’s Talent Engine project aims to drive collaboration across employers and education providers to more clearly articulate the digital career paths that are available to people within the region and provide more early-career and new-to-digital roles. Dynamo’s Talent Engine project will support regional businesses, particularly SMEs, to raise the profile of their digital roles and opportunities to attract the talent they need to fuel their growth.

T-Levels
Dynamo North East are pleased to be supporting our local academic institutions who are offering T Levels from September 2021. T Levels are two-year programmes for young learners, developed in collaboration with employers and include a Technical Qualification (TQ) that combines maths, English and digital skills. They will become one of three choices for learners after GCSEs alongside apprenticeships and A-Levels. If you are interested in offering T Level student placements, please view the T Level Providers and More Information page.
