To support us in our mission,
we focus on three main delivery areas:

Our Youth Programme helps to inspire the next generation to pursue tech careers in Cornwall through community code clubs, career-focused assemblies, and work experiences like our award-winning Mission to Mars. We’re advancing a digitally fluent generation by partnering with almost all educational institutions across Cornwall.
Our Tech Academy provides high-quality training and workshops, offering courses in cutting-edge technologies, empowering tech professionals with essential skills, facilitating career transitions into tech, and fostering a vibrant and knowledgeable tech community.

Our Events Programme brings our community together. Whether it’s support and networking for leaders of local companies, meetups for software developers, conferences for startups, code clubs for learners or social events, we’ll bring our network together for collaboration and fresh ideas and a friendly and supportive atmosphere.

Our funding

Tech Cornwall is a not-for-profit organisation driven by community contributions, membership fees, and support from local businesses and most recently, some funding from the Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund.  Each pound invested in our initiatives fuels the development of educational programs, supports the running of community events, and enhances our tech infrastructure. This financial support ensures that we can continue to offer high-quality resources and opportunities to our members while fostering a sustainable tech environment in Cornwall. We are committed to using our funds responsibly and transparently, ensuring that every contribution makes a real impact.
