Glasgow Tech Fest, the flagship technology event from the Glasgow City Innovation District, has been rebranded to “Fusion Fest,” it’s been announced.

Since being established in 2022, the event has quickly become a prominent fixture in the city’s calendar, and already expanded its focus beyond the tech sector to engage a range of businesses and industries.

Now, under the Fusion Fest branding, the festival aims to broaden its reach even further by including Glasgow’s tech, digital, creative, and innovative communities.

The event will continue to support opportunities for networking, learning and professional development for all members of Glasgow’s business and innovation community, as well as provide live talks and panel sessions.

“We’re excited to launch Fusion Fest which will allow us to build on the overwhelming success of Glasgow Tech Fest,” said Alisdair Gunn, the director of Glasgow City Innovation District.

“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.”
