Opportunity: Festival of British Tech @ San Francisco

Department for Business and Trade has an opportunity to take UK founders and scale-ups to San Francisco Tech Week in October.

San Francisco Tech Week (05-11 Oct 26) offers a rare concentration of opportunity. US venture capital firms, corporate buyers, and ecosystem leaders plan their calendars around the week, creating exceptional access and momentum. It’s an ideal moment to test US market demand, advance fundraising conversations, secure partnerships, and build visibility, often compressing months of meetings into just a few days.

As part of SF Tech Week on 7th October the UK Department for Business and Trade | Flagship Event – October 7th 2026 will host its own UK programme, linking senior US investors and corporates with UK tech companies ready to scale internationally.  The EOI is to source UK high growth potential, mature or investable companies to pitch, showcase their technology and be part of a festival of British Tech.
