As part of Global Entrepreneurship Week and Thames Valley Tech week (ConnectTVT), entrepreneurs and innovators will come together for Oxford’s first Emerging Tech Weekender.
The business, design and developer event takes place from Friday November 14 to Sunday November 16 in Oxford at The John Henry Brookes Building, Oxford Brookes University.
Over three days, innovators will pitch their ideas in competition to a panel of business experts. Designed to explore new frontiers and business opportunities in technology, Emerging Tech Weekender will grow new relationships between technologists and entrepreneurs, and the organisers anticipate new digital enterprises will be kick-started as a result.
The innovators will develop and pitch their ideas in teams, each producing a business model, an investor pitch and a working demonstration. There will be 60 to 80 participants, all leading developers, designers and entrepreneurs.
The programme is:
