This is Gloucestershire’s first ever Tech Week. The All-Week Access Pass is the way to experience every moment.
Info: 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.
Info: This panel brings together founders and leaders from the cyber and tech sectors to examine how Gloucestershire’s unique innovation ecosystem has influenced their growth
Info: This high-level panel, hosted by Golden Valley in partnership with Intralink as part of the CyNam Secure Futures series, brings together three leading voices from the UK and three from the APAC region to debate one of the defining questions of our time: how can governments, businesses, and investors ensure that emerging technologies deliver benefits without exposing us to new vulnerabilities?
Info: The most powerful tool ever created for bringing the world together risks being dismantled. In conversation with leading AI and technology expert Verity Harding, Meta’s former President of Global Affairs and UK Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg sets out the radical reforms needed to detoxify Big Tech, sharing a blueprint for the international cooperation needed to ensure the openness of the internet is preserved.
Info: As the global demand for cybersecurity innovation accelerates, investment capital is playing a decisive role in shaping the companies, technologies, and talent pipelines that will define our secure future. This keynote examines the evolving landscape of cyber investment, drawing on both UK insights and international perspectives.
Info: From America vs. China to democracy vs. Elon Musk, where does real power lie in the 21st century? In a live episode of Past Present Future, the history of ideas podcast, David Runciman and politician, journalist and philosopher Bruno Maçães ask which are the most dangerous fault lines in our world: fights over territory, money, ideology, or AI capabilities we can’t even imagine—special guest to be announced.
Info: Join us for an evening of innovation, collaboration, and community as P3M Works unites leading cyber partners for a series of short, high-impact talks. Discover how industry experts are driving change as they: share ground-breaking projects, showcase cutting-edge products and solutions and reveal how their work is making a real-world impact
Info: Breaking Point is a high-impact headline event that will bring together senior voices from government, defence, industry, and academia to test the assumptions shaping our current approach to resilience. With a focus on real-world threats, strategic posture, and the technologies driving both disruption and defence, we’ll ask: are our frameworks fit for a world where multiple crises could converge and where the old rules no longer apply?
Info: As Gloucestershire builds its reputation as the UK’s leading hub for secure innovation, leadership across the county plays a vital role. Future Gloucestershire brings together leaders from across the county for a series of lightning talks focused on the future of place, technology, and collaboration. Each speaker will outline their place's distinctive role in realising a shared vision for Gloucestershire as the destination for trusted, tech-enabled growth. From cyber and advanced engineering to agri-tech, green energy, and digital connectivity, the event will showcase the diverse capabilities that make this county uniquely positioned to lead in secure technologies.
Info: The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is reshaping how connected products are designed, developed, and delivered to market. For manufacturers in IoT, automotive, and consumer electronics, compliance is no longer a box-ticking exercise, it requires embedding security into every stage of the product lifecycle.
In this interactive Lunch & Learn session, we will share practical lessons learned from real-world projects that have taken products from concept to compliance under the CRA framework. Attendees will gain insights into: how to integrate CRA security requirements directly into design and development workflows, the most common gaps uncovered during product security assessments and how to address them early, best practices for working with test laboratories and certification bodies to streamline the path to compliance and why early security design decisions can significantly reduce compliance costs and accelerate time to market.
Info: AI is changing the rules of cybersecurity. From hyper-personalised phishing attacks to AI-enhanced threat detection, the lines between attacker and defender are being redrawn. This event explores what secure AI adoption means, how regulations and standards are evolving, and how we balance innovation with assurance in an era of increasing disinformation and digital complexity.
Info: The digital age has unleashed a new age of manipulation. Renowned lawyer, behavioural economist and nudge theory pioneer Cass Sunstein draws on decades of behavioural science to offer a new definition of manipulation for the digital age, outlining steps we can take to counteract it in our daily lives.
