In a year in which technological breakthroughs have brought generative AI, Quantum and Web 3 & Immersive technologies to the apex of public imagination and elevated 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. 

Our 2024 conference has been 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. The event will feature in-depth sessions on how to apply emerging technologies, including: 

  • Frontier AI 
  • Quantum 
  • Web 3 & Immersive tech
  • Robotics & Automation
  • Semiconductors 
  • Institutions of Innovation: How do we build a government that enables emerging tech to thrive? 
  • Addressing the UK's infrastructure gap 

The sessions will also explore cross-technology themes including: 

  • How the new Government will approach science and innovation, from Labour's five key missions, the proposed Industrial Strategy, and what this may mean for the current five technologies of the Science and Technology Framework
  • Understanding how application of emerging and transformative technology can boost productivity and enable economic growth
  • Breaking down silos hindering the greatest minds across the tech sector, industry, academia and Government working together. 
  • Empowering regional innovation through addressing infrastructure gaps, building regional centers of excellence, and opening access to finance

This Summit will also focus on convening the UK tech sector with UK Government and policy professionals to explore the future of UK innovation, identifying policy barriers hindering technological transformation. It is a unique opportunity to leverage techUK’s ability to convene industry, government, regulators, and other stakeholders to understand how to unleash UK technology and innovation from research to development, deployment, and commercialisation. 

Join techUK as we dissect these topics and more at the first innovation showcase on the 6 November.
