Fusion Fest, Glasgow’s rebranded flagship tech event previously known as Glasgow Tech Fest, is set to take centre stage during Glasgow Tech Week 2025.
Established in 2022, Glasgow Tech Fest quickly became a staple of the event calendar in Glasgow, expanding its focus beyond the tech sector to engage a wide range of businesses and industries. Fusion Fest aims to broaden this reach even further by including Glasgow’s tech, digital, creative and innovative communities.
Fusion Fest remains a fully accessible event designed to provide talks, panel discussions, and networking opportunities for all members of Glasgow’s business and innovation community. The rebranded event will continue to support opportunities for networking, learning, and professional development, offering actionable insights and thought-provoking sessions.
Attendees at Fusion Fest can expect a robust lineup of sessions led by professionals across the tech, digital, and creative sectors. Previous speakers have included The Gadget Show’s Jason Bradbury, BBC Sky at Night’s Dame Dr. Maggie Aderin-Pocock, and prominent Scottish entrepreneurs such as Oli Norman, Andrew Dobbie, and Janice Kirkpatrick.
Fusion Fest will be the headline event of Glasgow Tech Week 2025, scheduled from 26 to 31 May 2025, with Fusion Fest itself taking place on Thursday, 29 May 2025. This week-long series of events is Scotland’s dedicated tech week, offering a unique opportunity for businesses and professionals to engage with the latest trends in technology, innovation and creativity.
Director of Glasgow City Innovation District Alisdair Gunn said:
“We’re excited to launch Fusion Fest which will allow us to build on the overwhelming success of Glasgow Tech Fest. Opening the event up to wider industries and a global audience will allow us to offer informative, educational and entertaining talks that everyone will connect to.”
Emma Loedel, Co-Director, Start Up Grind:
“It has been fantastic to see Glasgow Tech Fest grow over the past three years and be involved with the Glasgow City Innovation District team in support as a speaker and exhibitor. Fusion Fest is the natural evolution of the event and will continue to be a valuable collaborative opportunity for the city’s ecosystem, I look forward to being part of the event and Glasgow Tech Week.”
Glasgow City Innovation District invites all interested attendees to participate in Fusion Fest and Glasgow Tech Week 2025. With a program focused on fostering innovation, dialogue, and collaboration, Fusion Fest aims to support Glasgow’s growth as an international hub for technology and creativity.
