Cambridge Tech Week 2026 has officially been launched with a new theme: ‘How deep tech changes the world: The ecosystems powering impact.’
Returning on September 14-18 2026, the city’s flagship technology event will explore how the most successful innovation ecosystems turn deep-tech breakthroughs into global companies.
With the total value of the Cambridge tech ecosystem now topping £176bn, representing close to 20 per cent of the UK tech ecosystem, the region has become a global centre for deep-tech investment spanning artificial intelligence, life sciences, quantum computing, semiconductors and climate technologies.
Last year alone, Cambridge-based technology companies raised over £930m.
Michaela Eschbach, CEO of Cambridge Wireless, which organises and runs Cambridge Tech Week each year, said: “Cambridge continues to generate world-class deep-tech innovation.
“The challenge now is ensuring those breakthroughs scale globally and deliver meaningful impact.
“Cambridge Tech Week 2026 will focus on the ecosystem conditions that make that possible.
“From capital and talent to infrastructure and policy alignment, we will examine what it truly takes to powerdeep tech at global scale.”
