About Digital Towns

A UK technology company building what comes next.

Founded in Tees Valley, Digital Towns builds AI adoption software, hardware and custom software, helping organisations measure, plan and deliver real digital progress.

Our story

From a Tees Valley idea to three divisions.

Digital Towns began with a simple goal: make advanced technology accessible to the organisations and communities that need it most.

Today we work across three divisions, the Digital Score AI adoption platform, PCBiex hardware, and custom software services, backed by Microsoft for Startups and the NVIDIA Inception programme, and built on Microsoft Azure in the UK.
