Where the thinkers and doers shape the future of business through tech

Europe has entered a decisive decade for technology. The outcomes are not guaranteed.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping industries at speed, quantum computing is moving from research labs into real world application, and deep tech innovation is accelerating across every sector of the global economy. The decisions business leaders make now will determine which organisations lead in the years ahead.

Against this backdrop, London Tech Week has become one of the moments each year where those conversations converge.

Taking place 8-10 June 2026 at Olympia London, with a citywide fringe programme running 8-12 June, London Tech Week brings together the thinkers and doers shaping the future of business through technology. It is where enterprise leaders, founders, investors and policymakers come together to explore not just what is new in technology, but what comes next and how organisations can act on it.

In 2026, more than 30,000 attendees are expected to take part, including 18,750 enterprise leaders, 8,250 start-up founders and teams, and around 1,500 investors. The scale reflects the growing recognition that technology strategy is now business strategy.

London sits at the centre of that conversation. The UK remains Europe’s leading tech ecosystem, home to more than 50 unicorn companies and attracting more venture capital investment than France and Germany combined. 

The global spotlight follows. In 2025, London Tech Week generated more than 4,000 pieces of international press coverage across titles including The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, CNBC, Sky News and the BBC, reinforcing London’s position as one of the world’s most influential technology hubs.

What distinguishes the event is not just the scale, but the outcomes. Last year’s attendees reported forming an average of 12 meaningful business connections during the week. 68% percent identified new partnership opportunities, and 43% percent of enterprise attendees discovered technologies they later piloted or deployed inside their organisations.

For founders and scale ups, the week offers access to investors and enterprise buyers. For large organisations, it provides a window into the next generation of technologies and innovators.

In 2026, the programme is being structured for the first time around two distinct ecosystems, Enterprise World and Startup World. Each will feature dedicated stages, curated networking and targeted programming, designed to create deeper relevance while still encouraging crossover between established businesses and emerging innovators.

Across six stages, speakers from the global technology ecosystem will explore how technology is transforming industries, markets and leadership itself. Confirmed speakers include Mati Staniszewski, Co-Founder and CEO of ElevenLabs, the AI voice platform valued at $3bn, Anton Osika, Co-Founder and CEO of Lovable, and Jeannette zu Fürstenberg, Managing Director and Head of Europe at General Catalyst.

Discussions will range from the role of AI in boardrooms to the future of finance, healthcare, retail and climate innovation. The agenda reflects a broader shift taking place across the economy.

Technology is no longer a separate function inside organisations. It underpins growth, competitiveness and resilience across every sector.

London Tech Week exists to connect business leaders with the ideas, people and capabilities that will define the next decade. With partner events, product launches and networking moments taking place across London throughout the week, the city becomes a temporary global hub for the technology community.

For entrepreneurs and business leaders navigating the pace of technological change, it is a chance to step back from day-to-day operations and engage with the forces reshaping their industries.
