Thanks to the good guys at Sunderland Software City, ‘[email protected] On Tour’ will have its first event of the year at their Sunderland Software Centre headquarters on the 18th January 2017.
[email protected] gives founders the chance to get their tech business or idea in front of a global audience of influencers who can catapult it to the next level.
Established by The Duke of York, in less than three years [email protected] has helped over 247 businesses grow, with some now enjoying huge global success.
Each [email protected] has a different theme, and the theme for [email protected] 7.0 is ‘Human Tech’, which will explore the potential impact of technology in our everyday lives – focusing on three key areas:
- Tech supporting our everyday needs – our health, our education, our environment
- Tech making our lives more efficient – connecting up our homes via the Internet of things, improving our communications, wearable tech solutions, and robotics
- Tech augmenting our experience of the world – through virtual reality and artificial intelligence

[email protected] On Tour Sunderland
Up to 20 applicants will be selected to deliver a three-minute pitch about their business to an audience of judges and guests (including businesses, investors, mentors and media) at the event at the Sunderland Software Centre on the 18 January 2017.
During the event, the judges and audience will vote for up to three finalists to automatically attend the [email protected] Boot Camp. The remaining entrepreneurs are then entered into a pool for further Boot Camp selection. [email protected] On Tour Sunderland is an excellent opportunity for businesses from the North East to develop useful business links and interact with the [email protected] team.
All businesses selected for [email protected] Boot Camp are invited to [email protected] 7.0, held at St James’s Palace on Tuesday 25 April 2017. Judges will select 12-15 businesses to pitch at the event and the winner of the People’s Choice Award (a vote open to the public, who can view each Entrepreneur’s pitch video and vote for their favourite) is also announced.
