We are delighted to share that tickets to this year’s Innovate UK Immersive Tech Awards Reception are now available.
Organised by the Innovate UK Immersive Tech Network, this highly anticipated event will take place on Monday 2 June at The Minster Building in central London with the aim to successfully bridge the pathway from academic learning and pioneering ideas in immersive technologies (XR) to real world problem solving.
Whether by winning an internship with one of our partners, or by demonstrating their latest XR creations in the showcase and making new connections with forward-thinking leaders – these awards provide an incredible chance for UK based students and emerging talents to advance their career and project collaboration opportunities across numerous sectors and immersive tech applications.
“This one-of-a-kind awards initiative shines the spotlight on the creativity and innovation thriving within the UK’s XR space whilst connecting aspiring individuals to the industry. As the UK’s leading membership organisation for immersive technologies, we are excited to bring industry, research and academic organisations, public sector and technologists together again to explore brand new ideas from potential future leaders in XR.”
