A county-wide celebration of technology, innovation and entrepreneurship.

CheltenhamCotswoldForest of DeanGloucesterStroudTewkesbury

Gloucestershire Tech Week brings together businesses, entrepreneurs, educators, creatives, investors, community organisations and future talent to showcase ideas, share knowledge, build connections and explore collaborative opportunities.

Innovative thinking has long been a defining characteristic of the county. From Edward Jenner's pioneering work on vaccination to the development of Britain's first jet engine aircraft, Gloucestershire has a long history of world-changing ideas. That same spirit of invention continues today through its leadership in cyber security, advanced engineering, agri-tech, aerospace and energy transition.

The week provides a platform to celebrate this, helping businesses discover new opportunities, founders connect with customers and investors, learners explore future careers and communities engage with the technologies shaping our lives.

Through a programme of events, Gloucestershire Tech Week shines a spotlight on the breadth of innovation taking place here, strengthens connections and reinforces a shared ambition: to build on Gloucestershire's heritage of innovation.
