Software Cornwall is to rebrand after as Tech Cornwall after receiving a significant grant from the government’s Good Growth Programme.<\/p>\n

The organisation, which recently celebrated its 10th anniversary, has received \u00a3453,700. The fund is managed by Cornwall Council and backed by the Government\u2019s UK Shared Prosperity Fund.<\/p>\n

Niki Davies, director at Tech Cornwall, said: \u201cTech Cornwall is for the thinkers, the doers and the ones who are quietly pioneering. It\u2019s for the local tech community, who have the power to make a positive difference within Cornwall, our incredible home.<\/p>\n

“Tech Cornwall is for the community, and by the community \u2013 the evolution of the brand is a clear reflection of that.”<\/p>\n

Tech Cornwall will once again be hosting tech startup conference Slush in September, building up to the flagship event held in Helsinki.<\/p>\n

Cllr Louis Gardner, Cornwall Council’s portfolio holder for economy, said: \u201cHuge congratulations to the Tech Cornwall team – through funding initiatives such as this, we demonstrate our commitment to helping Cornwall become a prime hub for tech business, both locally and nationally.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt puts a spotlight on Cornwall\u2019s thriving tech industry and will work to inspire individuals to explore career pathways and help bolster our local economy in the long term.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
