Featuring blockbuster diary dates including the Tech Expo Humber and Tech Awards Humber, all eyes will turn to digital innovation.
Full details of dates, events and speakers during the week will be revealed on Tuesday, February 4, at a sold out launch celebration at the Bonus Arena in Hull.
Antonio Tombanane, founder of Tech Week Humber, said: “I am blown away by the level of support we have received.
“To sell out within 72 hours was amazing. We've spent the last few months working on some amazing ideas with partners old and new.
“I can't wait to share our plans on February 4.”
Last year’s Tech Expo Humber brought together global leaders from the digital world.
Big-name speakers from companies including Twitter and IBM were joined by leading figures from the region’s tech sector, as more than 2,000 guests packed out the Bonus Arena.
The two-day Tech Expo, which took place in October, culminated in the hosting of the 2019 Hull and Humber Tech Awards.
Both events are now expected to return to the line-up during Tech Week Humber.
Mr Tombanane said: “The Humber region is thriving with huge investments and opportunities.
“We are very natural resources rich. This is our opportunity to inspire the younger generation into tech and to encourage businesses to continue to innovate.
“It is great to have such amazing support from everyone.”
