Tech Cornwall is for the thinkers, the doers and the ones who are quietly (or loudly!) pioneering. Each of us has the power to make a difference in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
Our aim: To light up a dynamic tech community that’s full of energy, fresh ideas and expertise that inspire the next generation and be a force for good in our region.
Our Mission: To drive positive social change by empowering Cornwall’s tech community.
Our Values:
- Inclusivity: Everyone is welcome in our diverse and dynamic community. We value authenticity, honesty, and the human connections that help people thrive.
- Collaboration: We believe in the power of collaboration over competition. Together, we can achieve more and elevate the entire tech ecosystem in Cornwall.
- Community: Through our actions, we cultivate a supportive environment and network, prioritising teamwork, celebrating success, and leveraging our skills to create opportunities for others.
To support us in our mission, we focus on three main delivery areas:
- Our Youth Programme helps to inspire the next generation to pursue tech careers in Cornwall through community code clubs, career-focused assemblies, and work experiences like our award-winning Mission to Mars. We’re advancing a digitally fluent generation by partnering with almost all educational institutions across Cornwall.
- Our Tech Academy provides high-quality training and workshops, offering courses in cutting-edge technologies, empowering tech professionals with essential skills, facilitating career transitions into tech, and fostering a vibrant and knowledgeable tech community.
- Our Events Programme brings our community together. Whether it’s support and networking for leaders of local companies, meetups for software developers, conferences for startups, code clubs for learners or social events, we’ll bring our network together for collaboration and fresh ideas and a friendly and supportive atmosphere.
Niki Davies, Director of Tech Cornwall said:
“Tech Cornwall is thrilled to participate in UK Tech Week 2025. It’s inspiring to see a connected effort across regional tech hubs in the UK, especially highlighting communities outside of major cities doing truly innovative work. As the fastest-growing tech sector in the South West, Cornwall is proud to contribute to this national celebration of innovation.
This event is not just an opportunity to highlight local talent on a global stage but also to foster collaboration between regions, share knowledge, and celebrate the UK’s unique contributions to the tech landscape. Together, we’re demonstrating that innovation thrives beyond traditional tech hubs, driving growth and community impact across the UK.
Tech Cornwall is excited to bring Demo Night to UK Tech Week 2025 in collaboration with the international startup network, Canopy Community, reinforcing our commitment to supporting Cornwall-based tech founders and connecting them with peers, mentors, investors and rapid product feedback to help shape their business. The event will take place in Cornwall and be live-streamed so it’s accessible to all.”
