The scale of engagement made one thing immediately clear: there is a significant appetite for understanding what innovation looks like in the heart of the Oxford–Cambridge Growth Corridor.

As one of the UK’s fastest-growing cities, Milton Keynes is uniquely positioned. Tech Week was designed to reflect that identity — not simply as a programme of events, but as a coordinated city-wide platform showcasing the depth and diversity of our local Tech-ecosystem. Led by Milton Keynes City Council, the week was delivered in partnership with major anchor institutions and industry leaders including Santander UK, The Open University and MK:U.

Lakechia Jeanne MPH, MK Tech Week Lead, said: “As one of the fastest growing cities in the UK, Milton Keynes really is at the heart of smart city innovation and tech, the headquarter variety and tech-community we have here prove that we’re not just growing, we’re setting the pace for what a modern UK city can be.”
