Celebrating Innovation Beyond Borders
As Cambridge Tech Week draws to a close, Friday shifts the spotlight to the power of regional collaboration. Innovation doesn’t stop at the city limits - and today we celebrate the broader ecosystem driving forward the UK’s tech potential.
Join us in Norwich for a day of discovery, where curated tours, talks, and start-up sessions will showcase the vibrancy and momentum of the local tech scene. From cutting-edge Agri-tech to fast-growing digital innovators, this is your chance to connect with emerging talent and explore new opportunities for partnership and investment.
Meanwhile, back in Cambridge, a rich programme of Fringe Events unfolds across the city. These independently organised sessions dive into niche topics, fresh perspectives, and untapped opportunities - providing even more space to learn, reflect, and connect.
Whether you’re exploring new geographies, building regional bridges, or simply looking to wrap up the week with meaningful conversations and valuable connections, Friday is your final opportunity to engage with the people and places powering the UK’s innovation landscape.
Let’s finish strong - together.
