Exeter, the county’s capital, is one of the fastest-growing cities in the UK, with a thriving scene of start-ups and established businesses.
Thanks to tech-focused organisations, such as Exeter University’s Innovation Centre and the science parks in Exeter and Plymouth, Devon is becoming widely recognised as a tech sector to watch.
