Sports media and technology company Planet Sport, in collaboration with Doza Consulting, will showcase its new Mobile Development Kit (MDK) later this month at Leeds Digital Festival 2025.
Designed to streamline and accelerate mobile app development, the MDK will take centre stage in a live workshop “How to Build an App in 90 Minutes” on Wednesday, September 24.
Aimed at developers, product managers, and digital leaders, the technology empowers teams to move from concept to product in a fraction of the usual time.
Leading the workshop will be Planet Sport’s chief technology officer and senior product manager Tim Lewis and Mike Dwyer respectively, along with Doza Consulting’s Anjali Trace and Nathan Betts. They will demonstrate the tech’s ability to simplify complex tasks across coding, UI/UX, and deployment.

“Our Mobile Development Kit makes app building faster, smarter, and more accessible,” said Dwyer. “This workshop will show how ideas can be transformed into a live product in minutes, not months.”
Doza Director Mike Silverstone added: “We’re excited to collaborate on this launch. The MDK is a powerful example of how the right tooling can remove barriers, speed up delivery, and unlock innovation for teams across Leeds’ thriving tech community and beyond.”
When it’s not co-creating app development tools, Planet Sport is also one of the UK’s leading digital sports publishers, promising to create “innovative, engaging, multi-platform sports content and advertising experiences for fans seeking the latest, quality, trusted sports information.”
The company’s owned and operated network includes PlanetF1.com, Planet Football, Planet Rugby, Football365, Tennis365, Sport365 TEAMtalk, Love Rugby League, and more. It reaches more than 25 million sports fans globally across web, mobile, app, MSN, Apple News and millions more across social media platforms.
The Leeds workshop is part of the 10th anniversary of the Digital Festival, which this year will feature more than 230 events celebrating innovation, collaboration, and growth across the city’s digital sector.
Attendance at the workshop is free, but spaces are limited, so interested participants are encouraged to register early via Eventbrite to secure their spot.
