Hull

Technology. Security. Insight. Delivered.

Hull anchors the Humber region’s industrial and maritime economy, benefiting from Humber Freeport status across the UK’s busiest port complex that includes Hull, Goole, Immingham and Grimsby. This footprint handles a significant share of national trade and underpins energy, manufacturing, timber and logistics supply chains, creating strong demand for secure cloud, data integration, and automation. The city is also a major hub for offshore wind manufacturing. Siemens Gamesa has invested heavily at Alexandra Dock, expanding blade manufacturing and associated port infrastructure which has created substantial local employment and a dedicated deep‑water quay for efficient export. Hull’s digital economy is supported by C4DI, one of the UK’s leading privately funded tech incubators, and by KCOM’s city‑wide full fibre network that made Hull the UK’s first full‑fibre city, enabling high‑bandwidth collaboration for industry and research.
