HOW TO BECOME AN ADVOCATE

Advocates are founders, investors and global tech leaders, but Advocates are also those on the frontline of tech – students, coders, policymakers, teachers and service providers.

There is no time commitment or minimum engagement required to being an Advocate; it is designed for busy people and you can engage with the group as much or as little as you like. There are, however, three asks of each Advocate, irrespective of their level of engagement:

– To share key messages about the tech sector in Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK

– When ready, help expand the Tech Northern Ireland Advocates network by introducing an Advocate

– Adopt the ethos of helping one another for the ‘greater good’ as a means of establishing a strong and vibrant technology sector
