Built on 14 years of the Digital Skills Festival, this next chapter reflects where the sector is now - and where it’s heading next.

Running from 8–12 February 2027, the festival will bring together the people, businesses and ideas shaping the future of tech across Greater Manchester. Expect a week of talks, networking, skills, innovation and industry insight across venues throughout the city region, anchored by a dedicated festival hub.

🚀 Future Innovators Day, sponsored by , kicked off Digital Skills Festival 26 on Monday in the best possible way.

Held at No.1 Circle Square, the day brought together teams of college students from across Greater Manchester for a hands-on innovation challenge designed to inspire the next generation of technologists and digital leaders.

The challenge, sponsored and set by Autotrader, asked teams to create a digital solution that helps reduce barriers to access, opportunity or participation using technology. Inspired by the Greater Manchester Digital Inclusion Agenda and the UK Government Digital Inclusion Strategy, students were encouraged to think big about how digital can help create a fairer, more inclusive society - perfectly aligned with Autotrader’s strong community-minded values.

After an impressive set of pitches, the Autotrader judging panel had the tough task of choosing a winner from some genuinely brilliant ideas. Huge congratulations to team Access Point from 👏

Thank you to our Autotrader mentors and judges for carefully considering all the fantastic pitches, it wasn’t an easy decision!

Thanks also to all the participating colleges: , , , , Wigan & Leigh College

An inspiring start to the week - and a powerful reminder that the future of digital looks incredibly bright with talent like this coming through ✨
