The Future is Now: Tech Driving UK Industry

What was once the stuff of science fiction is now the engine of digital transformation.

From AI and robotics to responsible computing and fintech, today’s emerging technologies are shaping tomorrow’s business landscape – faster than ever before.

In this Leeds Digital Festival event, hosted by Leeds University Business School and the School of Computing, leading researchers and industry experts will explore how digital innovation is solving today’s toughest business challenges – and creating real value across UK industries. Hear from cutting-edge thinkers working at the forefront of robotics, green finance, supply chain intelligence and more, and discover how strategic research is helping organisations adapt, compete, and thrive in an increasingly digital world.

There is also the opportunity to explore interactive demos and research showcases featuring live examples of emerging tech in action. Before and after the main sessions, as well as during the intermission there is a chance to speak directly with researchers, see practical applications, and network with fellow attendees in a relaxed setting.

Whether you’re a business leader, tech strategist, policy maker or digital transformation lead, this is your opportunity to tap into the knowledge, insight, and tools shaping the next wave of industrial growth.
