Ox Tech Week 2026
Oxford's flagship technology and innovation festival, convening founders, researchers, investors, industry leaders, and policymakers to build together.
Oxford has been at the forefront of discovery for more than 900 years. Today, it is home to a dense concentration of science parks, universities, tech firms, national research institutions, and some of the world's most exceptional talent. Over the course of one week, Oxford becomes a place where world-class research meets the capital, talent, and partnerships needed to turn ideas into impact.
The ambition is to showcase the depth and breadth of Oxford's ecosystem and to create meaningful connections that accelerate progress. Ox Tech Week is built on the belief that collaboration between entrepreneurship, academia, and industry is essential to tackling the world's most pressing challenges.
Throughout the event, Ox Tech Week brings together keynotes, curated panels, practical workshops, private roundtables, and partner-led events. From artificial intelligence and quantum technologies to life sciences, climate, and frontier innovation, the programme reflects the full strength and diversity of Oxford's scientific and entrepreneurial excellence.
Ox Tech Week was created by Michael Collyer and Christiaan de Koning, co-founders of the Founders & Funders Foundation, with the goal of building a globally recognised, long-term platform for Oxford's innovation economy. It grew from a shared belief: that Oxford's exceptional researchers, startups, and investors deserve a dedicated stage — not only to connect locally, but to engage nationally and internationally. Together with many partners, the Ox Tech Week team is designing a platform that highlights the very best of Oxford, while helping to shape its future.
