How is innovation going to shape creative technology in ten years’ time and how will innovation itself change over that period?
MyWorld & Digital Catapult are bringing together a collection of industry leaders, investors, start-up founders and SMEs to explore this question through a keynote and panel.
We’ll explore emerging technology innovations and trends, such as AI, haptics, immersive, animation, and how they are going to continue to transform creative industries.
We’ll also be looking at what else is happening locally, in the world-leading West of England region, and with a wider lens at a national and international level. We’ll delve into the current and future impact of MyWorld and other national innovation initiatives, and how collaboration and connectedness will be vital to enhance the exploration and adoption of these programmes. We’ll look ahead to forecast innovation within the sector, to discuss the challenges that may arise and to focus on what our key goals should be to ensure we are future-proofing the industry.
We intend for this event to draw out the key conversations around the legacy of existing technologies and their applications in the creative industries. As well as to discuss and lead the conversation on how innovation will change the face of creative technology and how our current understanding of innovation within the space will need to shift to allow the potential of the processes, people and technologies within the sector to flourish.
Speakers to be announced shortly!
