Glimpse of the Future Roundtable and Networking Event
Join us in London for dynamic explorative discussions on a broad range of the most exciting new technological breakthroughs that could become part of everyday lives.
With so much rapid change in the world today, there is constant appetite across industry, Government and beyond to be better prepared for the future ahead. Throughout the year ahead, Innovate UK will deliver a series of events to explore possible technology-driven future scenarios and the impact that they will have on society and the economy.
This is the first Glimpse of the Future networking and round table workshop event of the series where regional, national and international influences will inform future ideas and scenarios.
Innovate UK Horizon Scanning
Innovate UK has a unique position as a connector and convener between research, industry and government. Furthermore, with our Horizon Scanning knowledge and resources, we have the experience to collate, understand, and share the information needed to identify opportunities at an early stage. Our team constantly surveys the horizon for new and emerging technologies and respond intelligently and in an agile way to what we see and hear, in the UK and internationally. This includes bringing together the best possible insights and wisdom from across the UK.
About the Event
Led with an inclusive Feed, Inspire, Listen approach, our colleagues Jonathan Mitchener, Futurist at Innovate UK, and Knowledge Transfer Manager in Emerging and Enabling Technologies, Ryon Dieter Bachmann, will welcome industry leaders to this event for an open dialogue on how novel technologies and trends could affect industries, businesses and society in the coming decades.
This event offers the opportunity to connect with others facing similar challenges and think beyond your usual comfort zones to open up future ideas through the lens of your own experience and role – both as a professional and a human.
Expect to be stretched into thinking 20 years ahead, with practical insights on how to apply long-term thinking to your organisation. In addition to invaluable networking opportunities participants will have the chance to contribute their views – recorded but unattributed – to help shape collective understanding of what the future might hold.
