It exists for one simple mission: to make the South West a destination for innovation and creativity and to showcase the incredible founders shaping our region and beyond, in a way that feels bold, fun and genuinely different.
This isn’t another conference or festival. This is a playground that actually accelerates ideas in real time. Founders can experiment without fear, without judgement and turn ideas into reality.
The Founders Playground brings founders, creatives, entrepreneurs and communities together in one playful, high-energy space.

THE
LOCATION
the HUB OF INNOVATION
There was only one place this could happen.
Bristol & Bath Science Park, the South West’s hub of innovation.
A world-class environment designed for ambitious ideas, fast growth and brilliant minds coming together.
The perfect home for a playground built to accelerate what’s next.

THE
EVENT
The day long experience will run from 9am- 9pm with over 1500 attendees!
Across the site you’ll find two main stages (indoor and outdoor), a community tent packed with talks and networking, hands-on workshops led by some of the most exciting companies, and a constant stream of strange, wonderful and unexpected experiences popping up where you least expect them.
At its heart, this is about pride and connection. Showcasing just how much talent exists, raising our profile as a region to watch and creating a space where people push their visions forward.
