BTF 2020

Bristol’s Technology Festival was born in 2019 seeking to showcase the sheer breadth of technology that had been developed in the local ecosystem, and share the stories of those entrepreneurs, engineers and creatives behind the technology with the people of the city, and further afield. It seeks to destroy any barriers between technology businesses, their suppliers, educational and charity organisations and the residents of the community that they live and work in. 

With 2020 marking the start of a new decade, we ask what will the next decade see for the Bristol Tech Cluster? And, how can we influence it for the better of society, and the environment. Bristol Technology Festival now seeks to capture peoples’ hopes and predictions for the next decade. In what ways will technology influence how we live and work? What impact will the tech cluster have locally, and globally?
