Darren Hardman, CEO Microsoft UK, speaking at London Tech Week 2025

For 2026, the programme is organised into two themes. The first is Enterprise World (with AI Arena, a Core Stage focused on developments in compute, cloud, connectivity, quantum and infrastructure, and Transformation Stage – how tech is reshaping critical sectors and enterprise). The second is Startup World, with a Deep Tech Stage (space, robotics, materials, life sciences and national security) and Founders Stage where entrepreneurs will share their experiences. The Ignition Stage will showcase startups and scale-ups and will host Tech Nation’s Grand Pitch competition finale.
