Collaboration in Action
Every success story within the Cluster begins with connection, between schools and engineers, researchers and manufacturers, or global companies and local talent. Working together through shared projects, facilities, and training, we strengthen the South Devon economy and build a culture of innovation that benefits everyone.
This is the foundation of “Tech by the Bay”, a phrase that captures how Torbay’s high-tech community brings people and ideas together to achieve more collectively than any single organisation could alone.
Education and Skills Partners
Our education partnerships ensure that the region’s talent pipeline keeps pace with its technology ambitions. Together, we create clear pathways into high-value careers and develop the skills that will power South Devon’s next generation of innovators.
Working with education and skills providers ensures that every innovation in Torbay is supported by a strong pipeline of local talent ready to drive it forward.
Industry and Strategic Partners
Our strategic and industry partners represent the strength and diversity of the Torbay Hi-Tech Cluster network. These relationships make Torbay one of the United Kingdom’s most dynamic innovation ecosystems.
