Software Cornwall has evolved into 'Tech Cornwall' after being awarded a £450,000 grant from the Good Growth Fund.
The initiative has received £453,700 from the Good Growth programme, which is managed by Cornwall Council and funded by the Government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
The announcement came during the first ever Cornwall Festival of Tech and Big Cornish Tech Showcase.
Following the success of the festival, Tech Cornwall also announced they will host the event again in February 2025.
Niki Davies, director, Tech Cornwall, said: "Tech Cornwall is for the thinkers, the doers and the ones who are quietly pioneering. It’s for the local tech community, who have the power to make a positive difference within Cornwall, our incredible home.
"Every member of our community has a great role to play in making sure Tech Cornwall delivers exactly what is needed. That’s why we're not doing this rebrand alone! Tech Cornwall is for the community, and by the community – the evolution of the brand is a clear reflection of that."
Cllr Louis Gardner, Cornwall Council portfolio holder for economy, said: "Huge congratulations to the Tech Cornwall team - through funding initiatives such as this, we demonstrate our commitment to helping Cornwall become a prime hub for tech business, both locally and nationally.
"It puts a spotlight on Cornwall’s thriving tech industry and will work to inspire individuals to explore career pathways and help bolster our local economy in the long term."
