The biggest technology event of the year will be staged at the RDS later this year. 100 tech start-ups and a host of international speakers gather to inspire the next generation of young coders on Saturday June 18. Hosted in parallel with CoderDojo’s 2016 Coolest Projects awards, Launch’d is a unique one-day event aimed at supporting the next wave of technology entrepreneurs.

Over 10,000 people are expected to attend the RDS to see the country’s brightest young innovators, meet and experience the best start-ups and hear over 50 internationally renowned expert speakers.

“Launch’d was created to create a path for CoderDojo Coolest Project participants to launch their projects and to also support the start-up community in Europe. This event will bring together community, customers, thought leaders and mentors to help them scale their business. Our talks will focus on software delivery and architecture, sales and marketing, communication, pitching and funding" said Coolest Projects founding member Noel King.

CoderDojo Coolest Projects is one of Europe’s biggest tech success stories over the past five years.
