The Flywheelers, the integrated communications agency for high‑growth technology companies and their investors, has partnered with Ox Tech Week to lead PR and media activity for its inaugural event, taking place from 26th – 29th May 2026.
Ox Tech Week is Oxford’s flagship technology and innovation festival, bringing together researchers, founders, investors, industry leaders and policymakers from across deep tech and life sciences. The four‑day, city‑wide programme is designed to strengthen connections across the ecosystem while raising Oxford’s profile as a global centre for frontier innovation.
Created by Michael Collyer and Christiaan de Koning, co‑founders of the Founders & Funders Foundation, Ox Tech Week was founded to build a long‑term, globally recognised platform for Oxford’s innovation economy.
The Flywheelers will support Ox Tech Week in the lead‑up to, and throughout, the event, delivering an integrated PR programme designed to drive media coverage and journalist attendance, while profiling the founders and companies shaping the region’s technology landscape.
As part of the programme, The Flywheelers will also host a dedicated startup session titled “Building a Deep Tech Brand” on Tuesday, 26th May, offering practical guidance on the core PR and communications foundations required to stand out in an increasingly competitive market.
Michael Collyer and Christiaan de Koning, co-founders of Ox Tech Week said, “Ox Tech Week is designed to be a single moment in the calendar when the innovators, founders, and investors shaping Oxford’s next generation of global companies come together, and we want the world to take notice, and join. The Flywheelers understand what it takes to build a brand in deep tech and frontier technology, and that expertise is exactly what this inaugural year needs. We are delighted to have them support us.”
Kate Baldwin, Managing Director and founder of The Flywheelers said: “Oxford sits at the intersection of world‑class research and an ambitious founder community. As AI and quantum fuel the UK’s strongest venture rebound since 2022, the city has evolved beyond its university heritage to become a thriving deeptech ecosystem producing globally competitive companies. Ox Tech Week offers a powerful platform to amplify the founders building at the frontier, and we’re proud to support Michael, Christiaan and the team in showcasing Oxford’s vibrant tech ecosystem.”
