Nick Clegg (former Deputy Prime Minister and President of Global Affairs at Meta) took the stage on who really governs the internet, and what the UK should do about it.
Headline event

The week closed at the Bacon Theatre with operators from government, industry and intelligence on stage together.
Ecosystem
How Gloucestershire built it
An honest conversation about the realities of starting and growing a business in the county, and the action needed to fix them, including better access to scale-up funding.
Capital
Access to funding workshop
Investors, grant bodies and founders in one room working through real routes to capital: what gets funded here, who writes the cheques and the traction an early-stage secure-tech business needs to show.
