A panel of experts will come together to dispel common misunderstandings and concerns about creative technologies, and talk openly about how these can provide the cornerstone of new business growth strategies. The event will be useful for both businesses looking to understand more about new technologies, as well as stakeholders wanting to learn more about how technology can change thinking about industrial, urban, cultural, and transport policies, especially in SMART cities.
