BT has been announced as a Gold Partner for Wales Tech Week 2025, the international summit celebrating digital innovation and entrepreneurship, which takes place from 24–26 November at the ICC Wales.
As one of the UK’s leading providers of telecommunications and digital infrastructure, BT connects more than a million businesses each day. Its involvement is being seen as a strong endorsement of Wales’s fast-growing tech sector, as the event looks to attract industry leaders, entrepreneurs, policymakers and investors from around the world.
At the summit, BT will collaborate with Cisco to showcase new sustainable technology solutions designed to create a greener, more resilient Wales. By combining BT’s expertise in connectivity with Cisco’s advanced digital infrastructure, the partnership aims to demonstrate how smart, scalable technologies can transform industries, strengthen communities and unlock wider economic potential.
“This partnership is a huge vote of confidence in Wales Tech Week and the thriving innovation ecosystem we have here in Wales,” said Avril Lewis, managing director of Technology Connected, which organises the summit. “BT brings not only world-class expertise, but also a genuine passion for shaping a future where technology delivers for everyone.”
Championing digital skills and public service innovation
BT has been a key player in the UK’s critical national infrastructure for more than 88 years, working with over 200 NHS trusts, 44 police forces and 38 fire services. In Wales, it continues to be a strong advocate for innovation and connectivity.
Susi Marston, head of public sector Wales at BT, said: “At BT, innovation and connectivity go hand in hand. From AI to IoT, none of it works without the right networks to connect people, places and possibilities. Wales is home to some of the UK’s most exciting tech talent and forward-thinking organisations. This summit is a chance to showcase how collaboration is powering real-world solutions.”
