University of Gloucestershire is proud to support Gloucestershire Tech Week 2026, five days across multiple venues, bringing together businesses, innovators, educators and learners to explore technology, innovation and the challenges shaping our changing world.
Under the theme Mission Driven, each day focuses on a different area:
At the Jet Age Museum, the opening day celebrates Gloucestershire’s history of innovation while looking ahead to the future, with sessions spanning aviation, advanced manufacturing, entrepreneurship and national security.
At Hub8 MX, Cheltenham, the programme explores cyber security, resilience and technological sovereignty, including defence, post-quantum cryptography, cyber trends and data sovereignty.
Hosted at Park Campus, University of Gloucestershire, the day explores entrepreneurial thinking, neuroinclusion, approaches to innovation, high-performing teams and social value, culminating in an interactive Question Time session.
At Patch, The Forum, Gloucester, speakers will examine AI from a range of perspectives, including security, ethics, research, skills and its impact on organisations and society.
Hosted at the University’s Oxstalls Sports Arena, EmPower gives Year 8 and 9 pupils a hands-on introduction to cyber, digital technology and future careers.
Please note: EmPower is an invite-only event for participating schools and is not open for general public booking.
