Tech Cornwall has been making waves in the tech community, and the past few weeks have brought incredible moments of recognition for our small but mighty team. At the Tech South West Awards in Bristol on November 21, we proudly won the “Best Education Initiative” award, a testament to our unwavering dedication to bridging the digital skills gap and inspiring the next generation of tech talent.
Just days later, on December 4, we stood shoulder-to-shoulder with some of the UK’s most innovative tech organizations as finalists at the UK Tech Impact Awards in London, a prestigious honor that highlights our national impact in a highly competitive space.
Celebrating “Best Education Initiative”
The “Best Education Initiative” award at the Tech South West Awards holds deep significance for us. It’s a reflection of our mission to empower individuals in Cornwall through cutting-edge education and resources that equip them for the future of work. This win is a celebration of our community’s collective passion for nurturing talent and creating opportunities.
Niki Davies, one of our incredible team members, shared her thoughts on this achievement:
“This award is a victory for everyone in Cornwall’s tech ecosystem. It shows what can happen when a community comes together with a shared vision of education and empowerment. We couldn’t do this without the inspiring people and organizations that believe in the power of technology to transform lives.”
Honored at the UK Tech Impact Awards
Being named finalists in not just one but several categories at the UK Tech Impact Awards is a milestone that underscores our commitment to innovation and social impact. While we didn’t bring home the trophy this time, standing among the UK’s best has only fueled our drive to go further.
Kayley Lawry, reflecting on the journey, said:
“To see Tech Cornwall represented on such a prestigious stage is incredibly humbling. It’s a reminder of the talent and resilience within our team and community. We’re deeply committed to ensuring Cornwall remains a hub of opportunity and inspiration for tech talent.”
