Harborough District Council takes part in Leicester Innovation Week 2020 
As part of Leicester Innovation Week 2020, we will be running an event entitled "Creating an Innovative Culture" on Monday 24th February, 1:30pm - 4:30pm

We will be joined by Dr John H. Drake, from the University of Leicester, who will be discussing "The Power of AI & Data to Create Change" - how artificial intelligence and new tech can renew the thinking of your business. 

We will also have Innovate UK with us who will be sharing the work they do with businesses in order to streamline the way that they do business. There will be an opportunity to hear more about the Knowledge Transfer Network.

There will also be an opportunity for attendees to find out about some great new support initiatives provided by Leicester Innovation, as well as the launch of "Innovation Corner".

This will be a chance to hear from and interact with academics from the University of Leicester, who specialise in researching how businesses can be more innovative, competitive and productive.

Do join us for what will be an informative and engaging afternoon at Harborough Innovation Centre, that will inspire new ideas, new connections and fresh mindsets for your business.
