Annual Technology Ventures Conference 2012
22 June, 2012
Cambridge , United Kingdom
The theme of this year's conference is "Innovation in an Uncertain World", with coverage of 4 topics: Cloud Computing, Healthcare Innovation, Global Investment and Cleantech. It's an all-day event featuring speakers from around the world (including Julie Meyer of Ariadne Capital and David S. Rose of Gust), moderated panel discussions, business workshops, startup showcase (introducing startup companies from Cambridge and further afield), company exhibitions, lunch and refreshments, and plenty of networking opportunities.
Our future economies depend on cutting edge innovation to add value to society and to solve the biggest challenges facing our planet. The continued support of research and development is essential, particularly at a time when resources – both financial and otherwise – are increasingly under pressure. Yet, as Hewlett-Packard’s recent acquisition of Autonomy demonstrates, big business is still keen to invest in the opportunities being developed in high-tech clusters. Economic growth depends on those who can mobilize concept to realization,and create solutions with new technologies.
For its Technology Ventures Conference 2012, CUTEC will aim to address how the current financial climate is affecting the way new technologies are being developed and brought to market. Following on from TVC2011’s highly successful ‘Open Innovation’ theme, the conference will investigate other innovation models that succeed during lean years. TVC2012 will debate the importance of innovation in an uncertain world by looking at investment strategies and the infrastructure for innovation, focusing on key sectors both within the UK and the global economy.
Topics to be discussed include:
-What are the specific challenges of driving innovation in the current climate?
-How are successive periods of financial instability affecting high-tech clusters such as Cambridge?
-How do we encourage / support innovation wit
