Technology – designing AI and emerging tools for inclusion
Employment – creating equitable workplaces and unlocking talent
Health – transforming eye care through innovation and the Life Sciences Sector plan
The programme included two keynote sessions from Richard Osman and The Rt Hon Pat McFadden, and a choice of panel discussions, offering space for insight, conversation and reflection. The day concluded with a networking reception.
