Be the first to see new sensor technologies coming out of universities and spin out companies

KTN is organising a Showcasing Emerging Technologies event demonstrating emerging sensor technologies on the 3rd May in Glasgow.

 

Sensors are already used commonly in our day-to-day life by numerous electronic devices and machines, however advancing technology has meant that sensor technology and usage is rapidly growing.

The aim of the Showcasing Emerging Technologies (SET) events is to help accelerate the commercialisation of new technologies coming out of universities and spin out companies, that will have positive impact on society or the environment.

Exhibitors will be demonstrating their emerging sensor technologies at the event held in Glasgow on the 3rd May, as well as discussing how they work and their potential applications.

Not only will you have a chance to see and learn about some of the latest emerging sensors technologies from around the UK, you will have the opportunity to form new collaborations, and find new technologies for your applications.

The showcase will open with an introduction from the KTN’s Emerging Technologies and Industries team and include information on funding opportunities. Following this, a talk on commercialising emerging technologies aims to guide would be entrepreneurs and those looking for equity funding, this will be followed by 5-minute presentations from each of the exhibitors.
