Understand the national challenges shaping Gloucestershire's future and how publications such as the latest National Security Strategy and Strategic Defence Review show the landscape is changing.
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.
The challenges
Seven themes drawn from the UK's National Security Strategy and Strategic Defence Review. Tap a card to see what it means in practice.
Five days. Seven national challenges. One regional response.
Each day of Gloucestershire Tech Week takes the national challenge areas and applies them locally: to our businesses, our universities, our founders, our public sector partners, our communities and our future workforce.
