Looking forward to this. The region as a whole is coming on leaps and bounds. From Liverpool to Manchester to Leeds to Sheffield and upwards to Newcastle, there's lots of interaction going on in the startup scene. We've been promoting the heck out of Manchester with http://startupDigest.com/manchester and there's been TechHub open here at the end of last year. It's great that Leeds also has significant activity, and I look forward to both everyone working together, and having a bit of friendly competition :)
