techUK's Frontier Compute focus
Launched in March 2026, this year-long initiative will discover how the UK can lead on the development and deployment of Frontier Compute technologies.
From photonic quantum computers to neuromorphic chips inspired by the human brain, Frontier Compute is the next phase of compute set to enable wide-ranging innovations and applications through the convergence of advanced hardware, software, and infrastructure.
This focus brings together experts, policymakers and industry leaders to explore how the UK can build on its world-class research and industrial strengths to drive future growth, productivity, and global leadership.
Activity includes panel discussions, workshops, roundtables, and a report – to be published in early 2027 and shared with key decision makers within government – that sets out the strategy, regulation, infrastructure, skills and talent, investment, and ecosystem required for UK leadership in the next frontier of compute.
Call for Contributions: Frontier Compute insights
techUK is seeking insights (articles) to be published as part of our brand-new Frontier Compute focus.
Members and stakeholders can contribute insights outlining how the UK can lead on the development and deployment of Frontier Compute technologies – including Quantum, Photonic, Neuromorphic and Biological compute – and showcasing how their organisation is turning this vision into reality.
Submissions will be promoted throughout 2026 and across the UK technology sector via techUK's website, newsletters, and social channels. Find out more here.
