About the event

Connected North 2022 launches in Manchester this April

With government targets set to make 1Gbps-capable broadband available to 85% of UK premises by the end of 2025, work is well underway across the UK to reach this figure. In the Autumn 2021 Budget, the Chancellor announced that the first £1.7 billion of funding from the Levelling Up Fund (worth £4.8 billion in total) had been allocated to regions all over the country. But what does this really mean for Northern communities and business?

Connectivity is key for economic and social prosperity and as such delivering next-generation networks in every corner of the UK is essential. Launched as a sister event to Connected Britain, Connected North will bring together 60 speakers and 500 attendees and will provide an opportunity for the region’s connectivity leaders to come together and explore the most important regional issues around enabling the North’s connected future.
