The DIZ is aiming to become a beacon area for the application of innovative technology and digital approaches.

It is home to Stansted Airport, Public Health England, Queen Alexandra Hospital – which you will hear from as part of this fantastic initiative.    

As part of the event, there will be two panel discussions exploring “How Hubs of Innovation catalyse change’ and to what extent ‘Digital Innovation plays a role in the Environment”. During the final session of the event, a selection of local SMEs will be able to pitch and showcase their creative and innovative businesses, products, and models to the wider audience.
