Fusion Fest will headline Glasgow Tech Week at the end of May – with a series of events designed to showcase the city’s technology credentials to global investors.
The annual conference – on Thursday, May 29 at the University of Strathclyde’s Technology and Innovation Centre – will feature speakers from WIRED, Green & Black’s, Revive Eco and more.
Now in its second year, GTW is the gathering point for the city’s growing tech ecosystem, and is designed to stimulate opportunities to collaborate and innovate by bringing key players in the sector together.
It will be a week-long celebration of technology, entrepreneurship, and innovation taking place from Monday 26 to Saturday 31 May across venues throughout the city.
GTW has already attracted international attention, bringing together startups, scaleups, investors, academics, policymakers and tech and creative talent for a vibrant programme of events, meetups, panels, and tech demo sessions.
With 40 events and activities taking place across the week, the 2025 programme offers something for everyone, from deep tech and AI to climate tech, digital health, investment and robotics.
Alisdair Gunn, director, Glasgow City Innovation District, said: “We’re delighted with the way the community has come together and collaborated to get behind Glasgow Tech Week and put Scotland on the map as the home of tech and innovation in Scotland.
“This is our opportunity to showcase what’s being built here, create new partnerships, attract investment and spark conversations that lead to real change. Scotland needed a national tech platform to showcase its capability – Glasgow Tech Week leads that movement.”
Glasgow is one of the UK’s fastest-growing hubs for tech and innovation, with world-leading research, a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem, and a culture of collaboration.
