Join us at The Big Cornish Tech Showcase, our flagship rendezvous – where opportunities meet innovation and where Cornwall’s vibrant business community can connect, collaborate and learn. The showcase will provide everything you need to shop locally when seeking your next software, digital, creative or IT partner as well as a dedicated showcase for tech startups. It’s all right here on your doorstep.

Brought to you by Software Cornwall, the Big Cornish Tech Showcase will be the first event in Cornwall dedicated solely to demonstrating the quality of digital and software expertise we have in the region and connecting this expertise to local businesses.

Cornwall may be famous for its beautiful beaches and amazing local food but it’s also home to one of the fastest-growing tech sectors in the UK with a growth rate of 18%* and key strengths in AgriTech, Gaming, MarineTech, Renewable Energy and SpaceTech.

This event will be the ultimate place to find your next digital supplier and will feature:

• – An exhibition showcasing local tech, digital, software and creative companies and their skills, inventions and services they have built. Emphasis will be on the ‘show’ in showcase, with exhibitors encouraged to demo their technology for visitors to interact with, in a fun and exciting environment. Find your next technology partner at the showcase.
• – A series of talks from vendors focussing on problems commonly experienced in business and how these problems might be solved using digital transformation with the right technology partner and at the right stage of the project. Looking for a new CRM or website? Held back by legacy systems? Need to work in a more Agile way? Our vendor talks will give you all the insights you need with a heavy dose of inspiration.
• – A dedicated technology track getting under the hood of emerging trends and technologies ensuring Cornwall businesses and individuals are up to speed on what’s coming and how their businesses can embrace new opportunities and avoid any unwelcome surprises.
• – A startup arcade, showcasing Cornwall-based tech startups and their groundbreaking innovations. Perhaps you’re a budding Angel investor or mentor and want to support a local business. Grab a chat with some local entrepreneurs.
• – A dedicated matchmaking tool helping you to make the most of your day at the Big Cornish Tech Showcase. Create your profile, browse other attendees, exchange messages and arrange to meet at our meeting point.
