LONDON TECH WEEK: Tech for Impact showcase talks

Description

Learn about new technologies that are changing our world, for the better.

Tech for Impact will showcase businesses who are using tech to make a positive impact in the world. Speakers are drawn from med-tech, clean-tech, cyber-security, fin-tech and impact investment. The one thing they will have in common is that they use technology to improve human and environmental outcomes. 

Whether you are looking to deploy new technologies to make a difference to your business or you are simply seeking to learn and be awed by speakers who are at the forefront of technology, you can expect a series of inspirational, punchy speeches, followed by a short Q&A.

We will be using the London Tech Week Platform for this event. Details of how to register for this will appear in your order confirmation and online event joining instructions will be sent nearer the date.
