Introduction

Cornwall is home to the fastest growing tech sector within the South West and yet, it is facing a tech recruitment crisis that shows no signs of slowing.

For the first time, this report commissioned by the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly LEP shines a light on the vibrant, supportive digital/tech sector in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. The report is primarily for the Local Digital Skills Partnership and partner organisations with its aim to guide strategy and programme development, but it is also useful for anyone wanting to understand more about the digital/tech sector locally and the importance of employers and skills providers coming together to co-create programmes to deliver the talent pool that the region needs.

The researchers Digital For All will highlight the key findings from the report, and there'll be a chance to discuss the recommendations in a workshop.
