Notice Information

Notice Title

Programme : Prosperity : European Future Tech Mission - Opportunity

Notice Description

5. This project will engage European governments' growing and ever more prominent networks of digital envoys, cyber ambassadors and scientific or technological advisers to bring these increasingly senior stakeholders together with UK counterparts and experts. By focusing on (far) future tech this mission will (also) look beyond immediate or short-term objectives, and towards joint future challenges and opportunities, expanding the scope for collaboration. A series of talks, site visits and networking opportunities that deep-dive into these thematic areas position the UK as a major early innovator in areas that are only slowly emerging as the key innovations of the future. The mission should create a community of multipliers across Europe that have experienced UK expertise and leadership in the future of technology first-hand and that we may look to further engage and grow through future activities.
