Held from October 12-16 2026, programme highlights include an official launch event and VIP reception at Bletchley Park and a nationally important tech conference on October 15.

Businesses, organisations and community groups can get involved, by hosting panels, workshops, demos or networking sessions as part of the programme. There are also sponsorship opportunities for businesses looking to raise their profile in the tech industry.

Those looking to run an event during the week, or become an official partner can apply on the Milton Keynes Tech Week website. Partners benefit from visibility and access to audiences, founders, investors, businesses and policymakers.

Leader of Milton Keynes City Council, Cllr Jane Carr said: “Milton Keynes has firmly established itself as a leading home for technology and innovation in the UK.

“Tech Week is a powerful reflection of that strength, bringing together the people, ideas and businesses shaping the future.

“We’re proud to support its return and encourage organisations to get involved, showcase their work and be part of the city’s continued growth.”
