In today's dynamic business environment, partnerships have become a key driver of innovation and growth. For OneAdvanced, a beacon in the tech sector, community investment is more than just a corporate responsibility – it’s a testament to our commitment to our customers and our people. Since becoming a patron of TechWM, an organisation dedicated to fostering tech innovation in the West Midlands region, OneAdvanced is poised to champion local potential and propel the region into a brighter, tech-enabled future. This investment marks an important chapter in our story, blending the rich history of regional innovation with a forward-looking embracement of technology and community spirit.
Birmingham: A legacy of innovation
The city of Birmingham has a storied history as a centre of innovation, tracing its roots back to the industrial revolution. Once the workshop of the world, the region has nurtured revolutionary ideas across various sectors, establishing itself as a hub of industry and intellect. From James Watt’s steam engine to the Lunar Society's groundbreaking discussions, Birmingham has been home to audacious thinkers who've transformed the global landscape.
Today, OneAdvanced embodies this legacy, continuously innovating to address the emergent challenges of the digital age. From our headquarters at the Mailbox, in the heart of Birmingham, we continue to innovate for the customers we serve. We create software that powers eight key sectors, with solutions fuelled by the creativity of our people and our community.
Commitment to community
OneAdvanced's patronage of TechWM underscores our commitment to fuelling local innovation. By supporting initiatives that bridge the gap between educational institutions and the tech industry, we pledge to provide pathways for the youth to engage with technology meaningfully. Through mentorship programs, workshops, and sponsorships, OneAdvanced is investing not only in tools and systems but, most importantly, in the people who will harness them to drive progress.
We already have a strong history of working with educational institutions in our community, supporting young innovators to exercise their passion. This is something that we intend to expand through this program of patronage – as TechWM is closely allied to regional higher education institutions. By investing in becoming a patron of TechWM, we are investing in the future of talent in our region.
The power of collaboration
Innovation is rarely a solo sport; it thrives on shared knowledge and collaborative efforts. At OneAdvanced, we understand this and are eager to join forces with industry peers through TechWM. By creating a collaborative ecosystem where regional innovators can share ideas, test concepts, and develop solutions, the partnership aims to accelerate the pace of tech advancement in the region. Together we are stronger, and through collective knowledge, we can achieve the extraordinary.
Education is the bedrock upon which the future is built. OneAdvanced's patronage of TechWM envisions a future where tech education is accessible and engaging. The investment in educational programs is designed not only to equip students with the tools needed to succeed but also to instil in them a spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship. By fostering a culture of continuous learning and growth, we set the stage for future generations to carry the torch of progress forward.
OneAdvanced's patronage of TechWM is a bridge that connects our past to our future. It stands as a testament to our unwavering commitment to our community, within our business and beyond. This is the beginning of an exciting chapter, one marked by collaborative innovation and a shared purpose of enhancing the West Midlands' technological landscape. The relationship isn’t just about two entities working together: it’s about a community rising to its full potential, with technology as its guiding light.
