In the lead up to MWC, join UKTIN and the other organisations on this year's UK Innovation Pavilion for a series of webinars to hear from latest insights and find out more about what we’ll be sharing at the show.

Webinar 1: UK Government Innovation Discussion

As part of UKTIN’s work to support SMEs looking to innovate within the supply chain, this document has been created to educate SMEs on mobile standards. This report will include news of major developments of the key mobile standards, plus news on patent, patent trolls and IP infringement. 

In the dynamic landscape of communication technology, the convergence of open source software, standardization, and cutting-edge research stands as a cornerstone for building resilient and sustainable networks.

Birmingham Tech Week is the UK’s largest regional tech festival and conference with over 7,500 people attending. Events will be taking place across the entire West Midlands covering a variety of important and innovative topics.

The report aims to provide background information on standards activities in the UK and worldwide, as well as consider aspects where actions could be taken to improve the general influence of the UK and its industrial and academic sector, with particular emphasis on SMEs.

Join us for an exclusive webinar tailored for the telecommunications industry: "Strategic IP Investment for Telecom Start-Ups: from Seed to Success".  

The telecoms industry forms a vital part of the UK’s society and economy. It connects the country and provides the basic infrastructure on which we build all elements of our digital lives, both social and economic.

Standards are an essential part of the telecoms ecosystem, but finding the time and budget to understand and engage with the myriad standards bodies and their processes is tough. 

The UKTIN Standards Working Group is designed to support SMEs in more effectively interacting with the standards process and having their IP adopted.
