What is the Tech and Innovation Summit?
In a year where technological breakthroughs have brought generative AI, Quantum, ARVR, metaverse and web 3.0 technologies to the apex of public imagination and brought UK science, technology and innovation to the forefront of UK policy, it has never been more important to focus on the opportunities of adopting and applying innovation to help people, society, the economy and the planet.
As such, the first-ever Tech and Innovation Summit was developed to explore the latest advancements in exciting technologies transforming the UK economy and show attendees how they are being applied across different industries and sectors to make their promise a reality.
We would like to thank our Sponsors Kao Data, Microsoft and Cambridge Consultants who made this event possible. Interested in sponsoring in 2024? Please contact us below!
