Glasgow Tech Week is set to return with another exciting programme of events celebrating the city’s dynamic and scaling innovation ecosystem from 7–11 September 2026. 

Created and led by Glasgow City Innovation District (GCID), this year’s week-long event will bring together founders, investors, academics, creatives and industry leaders with a programme including artificial intelligence, health tech, space, advanced manufacturing and digital entrepreneurship. 

Building on the success of previous years, Glasgow Tech Week 2026 will feature over 40 events and activities across the city, with the full programme announced later this summer. On offer will be keynote talks, hands-on workshops, panel discussions, networking events and immersive experiences. 

This year’s programme reflects both the breadth and ambition of Glasgow’s innovation ecosystem, with early highlights including: 

  • Fusion Fest returns this year, spotlighting tech and creativity in partnership with the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and the Glasgow School of Art
  • Interactive experiences exploring cyber security and digital trust
  • Panels and workshops supporting founders with investment, scaling and international growth
  • Major industry sector-focused events in health tech, biotech, space technologies and uncrewed aerial systems
  • Opportunities to explore the future of AI, skills, and the workplace
  • Events championing diversity, inclusion and underrepresented voices in technology and creativity
  • Large-scale networking events designed to connect Glasgow’s growing innovation community 

Events will take place across Glasgow’s innovation hotspots - from co-working spaces to industry hubs.  

 

“Glasgow Tech Week 2026 is already shaping up to be our most ambitious yet, showcasing the depth and diversity of innovation across the city. It’s a unique opportunity to connect communities, share ideas and highlight Glasgow’s growing role on the global tech stage.” 

Alisdair Gunn, Director of Glasgow City Innovation District
