Cambridge Tech Week 2026 is opening applications for Innovation Alley, a flagship exhibition showcasing 80+ deeptech startups and scaleups at Cambridge Guildhall on 16–17 September 2026. This curated exhibition forms the centrepiece of Cambridge Tech Week's mission to demonstrate how breakthrough technologies move from discovery to real-world deployment. What Is Innovation Alley? Innovation Alley is deliberately designed to prioritise conversation and interaction over passive display. The exhibition space—sponsored by University of East Anglia (UEA) and PEM—will feature up to 10 different zones covering AI, MedTech, HealthTech, ClimateTech and advanced engineering. The format creates a high-impact environment where founders can engage directly with potential partners, investors and clients, moving beyond traditional exhibition stands to enable meaningful conversations and tangible outcomes. Dr Mike Short CBE FREng, Chair of Cambridge Tech Week Steering Committee, explains: "Innovation Alley is designed expressly for conversation, and intended for startups with a defined proposition and scaleups looking to build visibility and relationships. This is all about wanting to help tech companies meet the right people on their scale-up journey." Who Can Apply? The exhibition maintains strict eligibility criteria to ensure quality. Startups must have been established for less than five years, employ fewer than 25 staff, and be angel and/or seed funded. Scaleups must have secured at least Series A funding and have been revenue-generating for a minimum of three years. Meeting these criteria doesn't guarantee participation—all applications undergo a rigorous selection process to curate the strongest cohort. Exhibition space costs £350 plus VAT for startups and £1,500 plus VAT for scaleups. All applications must be received by 5pm Monday 8 June 2026, with successful applicants notified by Monday 6 July 2026.

Hosted by WEMatter Global

Explore how women can earn, invest and build wealth in the age of AI at this WEMatter Global event in Barcelona on 16 September 2026. Taking place from 6:30pm to 9:00pm at SBS Swiss Business School Barcelona Campus, this pre-AI Summit Barcelona conversation examines how technology is changing the way people work, earn, assess opportunities and make decisions about money. The goal is practical: help women earn more, keep more, grow what they keep and pursue financial sovereignty on their own terms. What to expect The evening begins with the human side of wealth, how people think, decide and act with money before an algorithm enters the picture. It then moves into specific questions around: - Investments, risk and diversification - Asset classes and investing platforms - Security and investor protection - Using AI to learn, analyse and make better-informed decisions - Recognising where evidence, verification and human judgement remain essential - Building skills, income, financial capability and long-term wealth This is an audience-shaped conversation rather than a one-way lecture, so attendees are encouraged to bring a question about their work, income, money or future. The discussion will explore both the opportunities AI creates and the risks of allowing automated systems to influence financial choices without sufficient scrutiny. Meet the panel Five women working across AI, data, finance, entrepreneurship and leadership will share their perspectives: - Katrin Kurz, Founder of BecomingMe - Monica Libera, Founder of Aritea Systems - Tina Louise, Growth Consultant - Neliha Murat, Data Science Manager - Cristina Lopez Genicio, Personal Finance Educator The session is hosted and moderated by Maria Carmela Zabala, founder of WEMatter Global.

Hosted by AI Tinkerers Barcelona

AI Tinkerers Barcelona’s September Demo Night brings live, real-world AI builds and technical discussion to Barcelona on 17 September 2026, from 18:30–21:30 CEST. See working AI, not slide decks Organised by AI Tinkerers Barcelona, this three-hour meetup replaces conventional presentations with practical demonstrations. Builders will show AI implementations in action, creating an opportunity to examine what people are making, how their projects work and what they have learned through hands-on experimentation. The slide-free format keeps the focus on functioning technology rather than polished pitches or abstract commentary. Expect a builder-led evening centred on: - Live demonstrations of AI projects and implementations - Technical, practical conversations about building with AI - A Science Fair for informal project sharing - Time to meet and exchange ideas with Barcelona’s AI builder community The Science Fair adds a more open and conversational element to the programme. Rather than limiting interaction to a formal stage, it gives attendees space to explore projects, ask direct questions and connect with the people developing them. That combination of live demos and informal sharing makes the meetup particularly relevant for anyone who wants to understand how AI ideas are being translated into working systems. Who should attend? This is a technical event designed for the builder community: people creating, testing or closely exploring AI products and implementations. It should appeal to AI engineers, developers, technical founders, product builders and experimenters who value concrete examples over high-level speculation. No specific prerequisites or experience level are listed, but the event’s technical focus makes it best suited to attendees with an active interest in building with AI. You do not need to be presenting a project to benefit; the live format offers a useful way to discover other builders’ approaches, compare ideas and take part in implementation-focused conversations. Event details - Date: Thursday, 17 September 2026 - Time: 18:30–21:30 CEST - Location: Barcelona - Format: Slide-free live demos, a Science Fair and networking - Organiser: AI Tinkerers Barcelona - Attendance: Application required Places are available through an application process.

Hosted by HCD Barcelona

A rooftop podcast taping in Barcelona exploring how AI, migration and investment are reshaping the city,and who benefits. On Thursday 17 September 2026, HCD Barcelona will record the first live episode of its new artificial intelligence series at One Parc Central. Taking place at sunset in front of a small audience, this English-language event offers a rare chance to watch a timely, city-focused conversation unfold in real time rather than listening after publication. AI, power and urban change Guest Stephany Oliveros is the founder of Lyra AI, a Barcelona-built platform that uses artificial intelligence to help close the gender gap at work. Her central argument is that the algorithms influencing more areas of life are not neutral: their rules are written by people, serve particular interests and often remain hidden from those affected by them. Journalist Daria Gavrilova will host the discussion. Having covered Barcelona from the inside for more than a decade after moving to the city from abroad, Gavrilova brings both professional reporting experience and a migrant’s perspective. Her HCD Barcelona podcast examines the forces changing the city, including AI, the economy and housing, immigration, and Catalan identity. The conversation will tackle questions that conventional technology events can overlook: - Who does Barcelona’s AI boom attract,and who might it price out? - Who is recognised as local talent, and who remains invisible? - How do algorithms distribute influence and opportunity? - What could Barcelona gain or lose as AI, migration and money transform it over the next five years? The backdrop is a city described by the organiser as third in the world for foreign investment in AI, behind London and Singapore, where a third of residents were born abroad. That combination makes Barcelona a compelling setting for examining technology not simply as a product, but as a force shaping work, identity, housing and belonging.
