Welcome to the Tech South West January Tech Gathering.
2020 was a pivotal year for the South West tech sector. The resilience, creativity and innovative capabilities of the sector were tested like never before.
Join us as we bring together members of the South West tech community to look to the year ahead.
What should we be watching out for in 2021? How will the tech sector reach new heights as uncertain times continue?
We'll be joined by Jo Banks of Falmouth Launchpad, Steve Edwards of SETsquared Bristol and Laura Stevens of Future Space to hear what their plans and projects are for 2021, and how tech hubs, incubators and startups can thrive in the coming year.
We'll also be hearing about a new collaborative project taking place across the South West, led by Barnstaple-based Applegate, Bristol-based software firm Ghyston and the University of Exeter.
The SupplyDevon project uses machine learning and A.I. to connect businesses with local suppliers, benefiting the local economy and reducing carbon emissions.
Which business challenges can be solved by machine learning, and which can't? How can tech businesses collaborative successfully with universities and academic institutions? What role will cross-organisational collaboration play as the region regenerates after Covid-19?
You'll have the opportunity to join the discussion and share your comments, questions and insight using the chat function during the event.
It's completely free to join - just hit the button on the right hand side to claim your spot.
