Upcoming events
Get involved
All techUK's work is led by our members - keep in touch or get involved by joining one of the programmes below.
Robotics
Recent advances in dexterity, sensing, batteries, and compute have made robots more autonomous, intelligent and connected than ever before. These technologies are now poised to transform industries, boost productivity and drive economic growth. This brand-new programme aims to unlock the UK's robotics opportunity by accelerating adoption, shaping policy, streamlining regulation, enhancing skills and talent, improving access to funding, and driving responsible development and deployment.
AI Hub
Organisations across industries are prioritising embedding AI into their core strategies and operations. To help promote greater levels of responsible AI adoption, techUK is working alongside its members and key stakeholders across the AI ecosystem to demonstrate the significant benefits of this technology. Our AI Hub is where you will find details of our upcoming activity.
Smart infrastructure and systems
Smart infrastructure allows us to capture new insights through data capture for more informed decision making, more efficient and decarbonised systems, and opens up the opportunity for new business models and new services for citizens. Through our Smart Infrastructure and Systems programme, we examine how energy, utilities, mobility and cities are embracing technology, working with government, regulators and our members to accelerate change.
