ConnectTVT was launched in June 2014 to “put the Thames Valley back on the tech and digital cluster maps” that we had disappeared from. Being rich in established, mature tech-based businesses, global giants have been critical to the region’s economy but had also made us become a victim of our own success. We had taken our eye off the ball about we how we were perceived; at a national level we were “off the radar”. The vision for ConnectTVT was to give an amplified voice to the innovative companies in the Thames Valley through a rich events programme.
We are really passionate about plugging the skills gap and have created a number of initiatives including Digital Gum to inspire young adults to pursue careers as digital apprentices and up-skill parents looking to return to work. We also champion the STEAM agenda through our Green Meets Grey project.
There are so many digital jobs for people like you! We are launching an exciting new skills initiative to fast track your digital career and land your dream job. Spend just 6 weeks part-time working on real-life projects to give you the digital & work ready skills to be in demand. You will also walk away with a killer CV and we will introduce you to local employers ready to hire. What’s not to like? Register your details below and we will send you further details.

What makes a Game Changer? It’s about those championing change. To survive in the competitive digital landscape, we have to encourage a diverse mix of businesses across our innovation layers. We love giving a louder voice to those supporting community projects, the early stage start-ups right through to those heading towards their exits.
We know collaborative spaces are more than just a desk, they are essential eco-systems for business growth. Below is a list of those truly championing collaboration and business support.
