Liverpool AI Meetups Connect Developers, Clinicians to Build Health Tech Solutions
Regular gatherings on artificial intelligence connect developers with healthtech founders and clinicians, supporting solutions that appear in local services.
How we reported this
Liverpool JS runs a monthly tech meetup that connects developers around building with AI and includes events such as the Liverpool Tech Hackathon at The Tapestry.
These sessions occur alongside other regular meetups that focus on agentic workflows and hybrid intelligence. The activity aligns with a 2025 Tech Climbers list that identified 19 product-led tech businesses in the Liverpool City Region, where 83 percent develop AI-powered solutions and 79 percent seek funding. Liverpool's startup ecosystem counted more than 52 notable startups in 2026, and companies including The Very Group secured £798 million in funding while Sandfield Capital raised £630.5 million since 2020.
Healthtech sessions target practical applications
Network One holds Tech Founders and Innovators Meetup sessions aimed at healthtech founders and clinicians. Events take place at Lime Street Central and at One Fine Day and Little Leaf. Dot NET Liverpool meets at Barclays Eagle Lab on 17 Mann Island for topics that include agentic workflows and hybrid intelligence, with pizza and networking provided. The Liverpool Linux User Group gathers on the first Wednesday of each month at DOES Liverpool, and Agile Liverpool meets monthly at Liverpool Science Park.
Startups in the region cover healthtech along with ecommerce, gaming, logistics, biotech and sustainable energy. They have raised more than £100 million in recent years. Startup Grind Liverpool hosts tech events that include pitch and demo evenings at Baltic Ventures.
Meetups support skills that match local demand
The gatherings bring developers and founders together on AI topics that feed into sectors already active in the city. Residents encounter resulting tools through health services and business platforms that draw on the same AI techniques discussed at these events. The 2025 list showed the strong share of AI work among profiled companies, while the broader ecosystem continues to grow with university support and regional accelerators.
