The focus of this event will be to raise awareness of some of the organisational issues for business leaders when considering emerging technologies. The presenters on this occasion will be highlighting the intellectual property and other relevant legal issues for discussion amongst attendees, as well as how business financial management has incorporated the benefits of Cloud Computing. 
The agenda for the day will continue the theme with Transmission ‘collaboratories’ and also include a structured leadership and development component to enable participants to take a tangible ‘learning’ from the event.
Each Transmission collaboratory is designed to meet the specific needs of businesses within our target sectors: advanced Manufacturing, engineering, digital, creative and logistics.
