London Euston – July 16-17  2014

London Aims to Rival Silicon Valley

TEW, one of London’s longest running Technology conferences, wants to take on Silicon Valley. The event will focus on ground-breaking innovation, from 3D printing & mobile to cutting edge technology. TEW will deliver a power enablement platform for technology entrepreneurs – a format that is at the heart of Silicon Valley’s success.

With much talk in the news recently from David Cameron and Boris Johnson around technology investment in the UK, there’s no better time to keep the conversation going around innovations in Technology. TEW aims to do this; keeping entrepreneurs stimulated and offering them support from those who have gone before.

UK’s Largest Technology Competition Details

Vision for London’s Tech Future

Tech Entrepreneurs Week Founder, Martin Warner says “London is the crossroads to the world and is growing a community powerful enough that will one day soon create a leading global technology company.”
