Bringing together the people shaping science parks, innovation districts, research campuses and technology clusters across the UK. The UKSPA Autumn Conference is an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day, connect with peers and explore the issues, opportunities and ideas influencing the future of our sector.
Across two days, the conference at University of Nottingham Innovation Park will look at the evolving landscape of regional innovation ecosystems and the strategies helping places, organisations and communities support sustainable economic growth.
Hear from keynote speakers on the industry trends and policy developments shaping UK innovation, take part in interactive panel sessions and fireside chats, and exchange ideas and experiences with colleagues from across the UKSPA community.
There will also be plenty of time to build new connections and continue conversations outside the conference sessions, with peer networking, an exhibition, drinks reception and conference dinner all forming part of the programme.
Delegates will also have the opportunity to join tours of the University of Nottingham Innovation Park, taking in its cutting-edge facilities, incubation infrastructure and grow-on spaces.Tour places are limited, so early registration is recommended if you would like to take part.
UKSPA supports, promotes, represents and encourages the continued growth of Science Parks, Technology Incubators, Innovation Centres and other Innovation locations and Areas of Innovations.
