Looking for partners with ‘Northern Exposure’

TechMarketView is helping CGI find innovative tech companies based in the North of England as potential partners with a new Innovation Partner Programme that launched on 2nd March and will culminate with a Dragons’ Den pitch event at the end of April.

Partner profile

CGI is looking for local companies with innovative software solutions and/or skills that play to one or more emerging technology themes; in particular:

• Advanced Analytics
• Agile/DevOps
• Artificial Intelligence
• Customer and Employee Experience
• Intelligent Automation
• Smart Cities (including immersive, 5G, drones, digital twin)

These solutions should address particular use cases in one or more of the following industry sectors:

• Manufacturing
• Transport & Logistics
• Local Government

To be eligible, applicants must be a UK tech-focused company whose head office is based in the North of England or have a significant presence there. They may be a solution development company or a consultancy with subject-matter experts and practitioners steeped in these technologies and sectors. And, needless to say, they must not be a subsidiary of, or backed by, a competitor to CGI!

Why partner with CGI?

Market access – CGI has extensive and strong business relationships with clients across the public and private sectors in the North of England and broader UK.

Regional development – the North of England is a key market for CGI. Working together, a partner  can benefit from CGI’s growth and expand its footprint in your local market.

Business growth – CGI will help build a partner’s pipeline, using our scale to help open large clients and opportunities up to their business.

Solution development – working together to meet client demand, CGI can help further develop and refine a partner’s solution whilst respecting their IP rights.

Extend your Ecosystem – a partner will have access to CGI’s wider network of Ecosystem partners aligned to emerging technologies to help extend their market reach.

Pitch event

We will be running a pitch event at the end of April (exact date to be confirmed) to identify local companies that are the best fit for a strategic partnership with CGI.
