LSIP Workforce Development Partnership: Deep Tech

Description

South Yorkshire’s Deep Tech sector is growing — but the skills system isn’t keeping pace. Businesses are struggling to find talent with the right mix of technical expertise, adaptability, and sector-specific knowledge.
This session is your opportunity to change that.

We’re inviting leading employers, universities, colleges, and training providers to join a new Workforce Development Partnership focused on Deep Tech — part of the next phase of South Yorkshire’s Local Skills Improvement Plan.
What is Deep Tech?
Deep Tech refers to technologies rooted in advanced science and engineering — often with long development cycles but high potential for economic and societal impact. In South Yorkshire, this includes:

• Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning
• Quantum Technologies
• Robotics & Autonomous Systems
• Advanced Computing & Cybersecurity
• Semiconductors & Microelectronics
• Next-gen Materials & Photonics

These sectors are critical to the region’s innovation economy — but they need a workforce that’s future-ready.
