Tech Cornwall & Cornwall Space Cluster

Tech Cornwall

Tech Cornwall is a non-profit membership group of individuals and businesses supporting Cornwall's tech scene. We have 100+ member companies and represent 3000+ individuals working in software, digital and technology in Cornwall, UK.

Our aim? To light up a dynamic tech community full of energy, fresh ideas and expertise that inspire the next generation and be a force for good in our region.

We do this in three ways:

An award-winning and extensive Youth Programme; we're in almost every primary and secondary school in Cornwall teaching code clubs and inspiring the next generation whilst also offering unique and award-winning work experience. We've reached 30,000+ young people in Cornwall with our programme.

Our Tech Academy supports learners who are upskilling within local tech companies and individuals career-switching into tech. We've placed 35% of career-switchers so far with local companies on our new programme. We offer accredited Agile & Scrum foundation courses as well as a huge range of other courses, from AI, Test Driven Development, Agile leadership, Power BI and more.

Our extensive Events Programme includes the biggest Agile conference in the UK: Agile on the Beach (4-5 July 2024, Cornwall, UK) and the most founder-focussed event in the UK, Cornwall Slush'd (12th September 2024, Newquay, Cornwall, UK) backed by Europe's biggest tech startup event, Slush.
