Wales Tech Week 2025, powered by Technology Connected, is set to energise the tech sector when it returns next month, from 24-26 November at the International Convention Centre (ICC) Wales in Newport.
This year’s event gains significant momentum with the support of Vodafone Business, the enterprise division of the newly merged VodafoneThree, and a leading provider of connectivity and digital solutions for businesses across the UK.
Bringing together innovators, industry leaders, startups, investors and policymakers, Wales Tech Week will spotlight cutting-edge technologies, foster collaboration and drive forward the digital economy.
Avril Lewis, MBE, Managing Director of Technology Connected said, “Wales Tech Week is proud to welcome Vodafone Business as our Networking Partner for 2025. As part of the newly merged VodafoneThree, Vodafone Business is helping to deliver the infrastructure and innovation that Wales needs to thrive – enabling businesses, communities and public services to embrace the opportunities of a truly connected future”
Vodafone Business has a long-standing commitment to Wales, investing in connectivity that underpins economic growth, inclusion and sustainability. Following the VodafoneThree merger, the company is delivering the UK’s largest-ever mobile network investment of £11 billion, building the country’s biggest and best 5G network. In Wales, this means near-universal population coverage, improved rural connectivity, and the infrastructure to power innovation across sectors – from advanced manufacturing and fintech to healthcare and green energy. This investment is projected to contribute £4 billion in productivity benefits to Wales by 2035, supporting thousands of businesses and creating new opportunities in every community.
Nick Gliddon, Director, Business at VodafoneThree, added, “Wales is at a pivotal moment for technology, and connectivity is the foundation for its future success. At Vodafone Business, we’re proud to partner with Wales Tech Week to highlight the role a world-class network will play in unlocking opportunity – from supporting SMEs and critical public services to enabling green innovation and digital inclusion. Our £11 billion investment in the UK’s biggest and best 5G network will help ensure Wales has the infrastructure it needs to thrive, creating jobs, boosting productivity and connecting communities across the nation.”
Wales Tech Week 2025 promises to be the most ambitious edition yet, bringing together global tech industry leaders, startups, investors and policymakers to celebrate and accelerate Wales’s role in the digital economy.
With themes of Tech for People, Tech for the Planet and Tech for Performance, Wales Tech Week 2025 is a landmark event, one that not only explores what’s next but what’s possible.
