Gloucestershire stands on the cusp of a new chapter. As the county launches its first-ever Gloucestershire Tech Week, this opening keynote sets the tone for a landmark celebration of technology, innovation, collaboration, and entrepreneurship.
Already recognised as the UK’s cyber capital, Gloucestershire is home to world-class cybersecurity expertise, pioneering technology capabilities, and a vibrant community of startups and entrepreneurs. But the region’s potential extends far beyond cyber. With major developments including the Golden Valley Development in Cheltenham, the Berkeley nuclear site redevelopment, The Forum in Gloucester, and the new City Campus, Gloucestershire is investing in the infrastructure that will drive the next wave of growth. This expanding ecosystem connects secure technologies with energy innovation, digital transformation, and education at scale.
Joined by senior local government leaders, this keynote will explore how Gloucestershire is leveraging its unique strengths to build a future that is digitally secure, inclusive, and globally connected. Delegates will gain insight into how the county is shaping the UK’s secure digital economy and why Gloucestershire is a hub for innovation with international reach.
To kickstart the morning, attendees are warmly invited to enjoy a fresh bagel station while networking with fellow innovators.
