Earlier this month UK IDG members enjoyed an incredible visit to Newcastle hosted by Newcastle University and the Helix. Highlights included:
- Learning about how Newcastle is supporting its innovation ecosystem and skills pipeline via the Urban Observatory, the National Innovation Centre for Data, the UK National Innovation Centre for Ageing, and the CPI
– Hearing from Dejan Bojic about the opportunities that #5G presents for innovation districts and from the North of Tyne Combined Authority about how they are putting this into action
Visiting the newly opened Newcastle United Foundation and seeing the range of fitness, STEM, and community programmes on offer
Thank you to our hosts for an inspiring study visit!
