London Tech Week: Capturing the Value of the Technological Revolution
The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, in collaboration with Venture Café London and ARIA, is hosting an event that addresses a central challenge: technological disruption is inevitable but prosperity is not. As advances in artificial intelligence, robotics, quantum and advanced manufacturing continue to accelerate, the question is no longer whether change will happen, but who will capture its value.
The United Kingdom has world-class strengths in research, talent and entrepreneurship, yet too often struggles to translate these into globally competitive industries. Whether the country will thrive or decline during this next wave of technological change will depend on its ability to build a full-spectrum innovation economy – one that not only generates ideas but also scales them successfully into firms, industries and national capability.
This event will bring together investors, founders, corporates, policymakers and researchers from across the UK’s innovation ecosystem. It will provide a platform for cross-sector dialogue and an opportunity to energise the ecosystem, uniting those who shape policy, capital and technology to actively drive the UK’s next phase of growth.
Join us to be part of this conversation.
