In an ever-changing social, political and economic global landscape it can seem impossible to keep up with legal and regulatory developments, and that’s before trying to plan ahead for the future.
In an uncertain world of AI noise, the looming threat of cyber attacks, and a shake up of the world order leading to fragmented approaches to regulation, it can be difficult to remain positive and on the front foot. But there are plenty of opportunities for growth and success.
Our annual Tech & IP Conference will explore how businesses can take advantage of this period of change to evolve, build resilience, and leverage competitive advantage through powerful new technologies and innovation.
