The Investment Activator Programme was created by TechSPARK, a Bristol-based not-for-profit network dedicated to connecting, educating and strengthening the digi-tech cluster in the West.

When we report investment data, it is focused on the West of England region, home of TechSPARK. However we are always keen to amplify stories from the deeper South West and Wales. For details of the most recent Investment Highlights download our 2022 Annual Investment Report or our 2021 Annual Investment Report.

There are many high net worth individuals, angel investors, family offices, exited entrepreneurs and venture capitalists that are looking to the South West for investment opportunities, both due to the diversity in the ecosystem and the specialisms for which the South West is known.
