Cambridge Tech Week is a global tech gathering designed to unite the brightest minds – visionaries, world-leading experts, and strategic investors – to drive growth, collaboration and transformative innovation across the tech ecosystem.
The theme this year is: How Deep Tech Changes the World
Deep Tech has moved from promise to practice. The question is no longer what we can invent. It is how these technologies are powered, governed, deployed and scaled to deliver real-world benefit.
From AI and advanced computing to energy systems, climate tech and health innovation, Cambridge Tech Week 2026 explores deep tech as the infrastructure shaping modern life.
Across five days, Cambridge Tech Week brings together:
- Insight from world-class researchers and technologists
- Practical perspectives from founders and scaleups
- Investor and policy voices shaping the future of UK innovation
- Deep dives into AI, data, deep tech and sustainability
The schedule for Monday 14 September afternoon is based at St John’s Innovation Centre, where we will welcome innovation system leaders, and founders working across international corridors to share their perspectives.
The event at SJIC begins with drinks and networking, before welcoming Kathryn Chapman, Executive Director of Innovate Cambridge who will chair a panel discussion with Krista Covey, CEO & President, First Flight Venture Centre, Stephane Dufour, CEO, EPFL Innovation Park and Barnaby Perks, CEO, St John’s Innovation Centre.
