“The UK's world-leading tech sector is crucial to delivering the tech-enabled economic growth our country needs, and ensuring people reap the rewards this sector provides for them and their families, regardless of background or where they live. From pioneering solutions to the climate crisis to revolutionising healthcare, UK tech is at the forefront of tackling the most pressing challenges of our time.
“UK Tech Week is a great initiative that celebrates these achievements and showcases the leading role tech ecosystems in all regions and nations across our country play in strengthening our economy, innovating and problem solving, and improving people's everyday lives.”
Stuart Clarke MBE, Founder of UK Tech Week, said:
“UK Tech Week is more than a celebration; it is a movement to foster connection, collaboration, and innovation across the UK’s tech ecosystem. I am pleased to see so many incredible partners coming together to highlight the best of what the UK tech sector has to offer.
“Our ambition is to build the most geographically-inclusive tech event in the UK, that brings together the largest and longer-established events while encouraging the newest and smallest; we want UK Tech Week to be seen as the key event that kicks off the tech year.”
Vic Weigler, Chief Technology Officer of UK Tech Week Headline Sponsors, Lloyds Banking Group, said:
“At Lloyds Banking Group, we recognise the transformative power of technology in driving economic growth and innovation. Supporting UK Tech Week aligns with our commitment to help Britain prosper.
