UK INNOVATION IS AT AN EXCITING JUNCTURE
Ian Smith, Head of UKTIN

Connectivity has, and always will, underpin societal and economic growth. Fortunately, the UK telecoms sector is

The emergence of new technologies and solutions for telecom networks and interfaces requires a fresh approach to planning, procurement and deployment. Open RAN and the disaggregation of hardware and software have already had an impact on the supplier ecosystem.

Cambridge Tech Week brings together world-leading experts, innovators and investors to fuel growth across the tech ecosystem, establishing Cambridge as a key place where global tech comes to meet.

A conversation with Vicky Messer at Picocom, Mark Gilmour at ConnectiviTree and Lesley Holt at UKTIN, hosted by Chris Lewis at Lewis Insight, and Monica Paolini at Senza Fili

Diversity benefits everyone—people, businesses and customers.

We’re delighted to announce that this year’s annual event will again be hosted at the University of Birmingham’s brand-new conference park and hotel in collaboration with the Radio Technology SIG at Cambridge Wireless.

On Thursday 23 November (15:00-17:00) techUK will be hosting its Telecoms Infrastructure Working Group Plenary.

Sign up now to hear insight from key industry stakeholders and network with others across the sector.
