MTF | CSR for Tech Startups

The best startups don’t just build fast—they build with intention. Smart CSR is for tech founders who believe that innovation and impact aren’t mutually exclusive. It’s a space to explore how embedding CSR early can set the stage for sustainable growth, community loyalty, and a company culture that attracts the very best, without sacrificing profits or people.

This isn’t just about charity. It’s about designing businesses that are more human, more resilient, and more relevant in a world demanding better. Hear from founders who are proving that purpose scales, and from charities working side-by-side with agile tech teams to create real change—no big budgets or head-counts required.

Because the future belongs to startups with soul.

Please book tickets through the Manchester Tech Festival Website.

RSVPing on Meetup does not count as a booked ticket.

For the past 3 years we have solely used meetup to sign people up for our events. However, the event venues we use require us to secure full names and email addresses so we can issue tickets for security reasons. Sadly meetup doesn't allow us to do this. That's why we now require guests to sign up to our events through our website. Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to seeing you at the event!
