Gloucestershire stands on the cusp of a new chapter. As the county launches its first-ever Tech Week, this opening keynote sets the tone for a celebration of innovation, collaboration, and ambition.
Home to world-class cyber expertise, pioneering capabilities, and a vibrant community of entrepreneurs, Gloucestershire has already carved out a reputation as the UK’s cyber capital. But its potential goes far beyond cybersecurity. With the Golden Valley Development in Cheltenham, the Berkeley nuclear site redevelopment, The Forum in Gloucester, and the new City Campus, the region is investing in the spaces and infrastructure that will underpin the next wave of growth, creating an ecosystem that connects secure technologies with energy, digital innovation, and education at scale.
Joined by senior local government leaders, we’ll look at how Gloucestershire is harnessing its unique strengths to build a future that is not only digitally secure but also inclusive, prosperous, and globally connected. This keynote will inspire delegates to see the county not just as a place of innovation, but as a community shaping the secure digital future for the UK and beyond.
And to start the morning right, delegates are warmly invited to enjoy a bagel station.
