Gloucestershire
Tech Week
What is Tech Week
Five days exploring technology, innovation and our changing world.
The wider context
A county’s call to action
We are living through an era of radical uncertainty, a world of confrontation, competition and cooperation, in which technology is more crucial than ever.
Gloucestershire Tech Week exists to convene the people who can navigate this era: innovators, businesses, investors, universities and government, working side by side around the technologies that will shape both the UK’s security and prosperity.
Our role is to turn the challenges the country faces into shared opportunities here in Gloucestershire.

Gloucestershire Tech Week is produced by CyNam, the community network for Gloucestershire’s cyber and technology sector.
Founded in 2015 as a meetup in Cheltenham, CyNam connects industry, academia and government through regular events all year round. Tech Week grew from that community and first ran in 2025, delivered with partners across the county.
