What has been the impact of previous events?
Since Sync the City was co-founded by John Fagan (from technology company Scribe) and the University of East Anglia (UEA) 10 years ago, it has transformed lives and led to innovative spin-out companies and innovations – such as the Safepoint app for lone workers, developed by UEA graduate Callum Coombes after winning a prize at Sync the City in 2017 for pitching this idea.
Of course, it’s not all about winning. We always receive great feedback from everyone taking part in the event, with participants telling us that they learn new skills and make connections – all while having a great time. Over 100 people took part in Sync the City last year and we’re expecting it to be sold out again this year.
