On the 8th November 2019 at Aerospace Bristol and in front of the iconic Concorde, The Bristol Technology Showcase will launch as a cornerstone addition to the Bristol Technology Festival. Bringing together first-in-class insights, fascinating debates and world class exhibitors to explore emerging technologies and the 4th industrial revolution.
The 4th Industrial Revolution is going to bring unparalleled change to businesses and society and it's critically important that we talk, discuss and debate some of the issues that lay ahead. If you haven't seen it before, take a look at this World Economic Forum video as it's a great insight to this new technological era.
Since we began this project nearly 12 months ago, we’ve worked hard to ensure we bring together senior decision makers from organisations that are currently feeling the pain of an ever changing digital transformation landscape. Our aim is to connect Bristol and wider regional based solutions to business leaders to help solve these demands.
We’re proud that the showcase will attract decision makers from industries including Utilities, Legal, Financial Services, Insurance, Education, Manufacturing, Professional Services, Aviation, Technology, Logistics, Telecommunications and more.
As anyone knows, Bristol and the wider region is not short of innovative game-changing companies and we are already set to welcome the likes of XMOS, Ultraleap, Bristol Robotics Laboratory, KETS Quantum Security, University of Bristol, Osborne Clarke, LettUS Grow, cxpartners and many more to connect with potential new customers under the wings of Concorde on the 8th November - there really couldn’t be a better setting to break the ice.
We're also delighted to be working with the West of England Combined Authority and Business West and many of the organisations highlighted in this video working on the Local Industrial Strategy.
Alongside our roster of killer keynotes, the Bristol Technology Showcase will play host to a number of intimate seminars and panel discussions for business leaders designed to spark mission-critical insights and dialogue into digital transformation, and importantly how businesses in the South West region can impact their organisations.
