The digital and tech sector includes a wide range of businesses and jobs ranging from computer programming and consultancy, telecommunications through to the development of computer games and the technical aspects of media production. 

Almost all jobs now require digital skills, but jobs in the digital and tech sector are far more likely to need advanced and specialist skills such as programming, web development and data analysis.

The Digital world in Cornwall and the Isle of Scilly 

Cornwall is home to the fastest growing tech sector in the South-West, with forecasted annual growth of 17.9% by 2026. This growth, along with growing numbers of digital jobs across many sectors, rapid changes in technology, and employers struggling to find people with the right skills, has all led to a digital sector recruitment crisis. 

Cornwall has a growing and fast-paced digital sector. The region is known for creative educational establishments such as Falmouth University, and world-leading digital agencies. Cornwall offers a diverse digital ecosystem and a creative cluster that’s helping to break new ground. While the digital sector itself will continue to grow, demand for digital roles across four other sectors will increase demand considerably in the region. Some key sectors to look out for are screen and creative, spacetech, agritech and marinetech. Recent research has identified that these related sectors will all rely on similar skillsets including software development and data analysis.
