About York

Software Development for York's Rail Technology & Biotech Sectors

York combines medieval heritage with a modern knowledge economy centred on rail technology, insurance, and bio-science. Network Rail's national headquarters and the National Railway Museum make the city the intellectual home of the UK rail industry. Aviva employs thousands in the city, and the University of York — a Russell Group institution — is a leader in computer science, biology, and archaeology. The York Biotech Campus, developed on the former British Sugar site, is creating a major new cluster for bio-manufacturing and agricultural science. The city's compact, walkable centre and high quality of life make it attractive to tech workers and startups, supported by co-working spaces like York Guildhall's innovation centre.
