Tech Events at UWE Bristol, Bristol Business School, Bristol

UWE Bristol launches Enterprise Engine, its new innovation and growth programme, at the Bristol Business School.

UWE session on routes into startup formation and the enterprise support actually available in the region.

A two-day in-person hackathon at UWE Bristol bringing together students, recent graduates and researchers from the University of the West of England and the University of Bristol to solve real-world industry challenges with AI. Participants work in curated multidisciplinary teams of four to five on live briefs set by cross-sector partners including Capsule Insurance (supported by Hiscox), IngeniumAI and the NCC, with mentoring, networking and refreshments provided across both days. No AI expertise required — the event is pitched as a learning opportunity as much as a competition, and is open to students and recent graduates of any discipline. Organised by Tech West England Advocates in collaboration with UWE and the University of Bristol.

BCI's evening talk on the craft of humour in marketing — when it lands, when it dies, and how brands can use comedy as a serious strategic lever. Paddy Gilmore (a comms consultant and columnist who built a career around making messaging memorable) shares practical lessons for marketers and agency teams. Hosted at UWE's Bristol Business School in Frenchay.
