Exploring the new world of digital innovation and investment

The Transform Digital Conference is designed to address three questions:

1. Where is the UK ahead in the digital industries sectors?
2. Where does the UK risk falling behind?
3. How do we address the challenges and close the investment and innovation gaps?

This event will facilitate dialogue between policy makers, industry, investors and communities to address these questions.

• We will explore collaborative approaches that make the hard to reach places, easier and cheaper to get to.
