Digital Devolution: Delivering real devolution through AI policy, Growth Zones & Tech Towns

​This session will focus on how AI policy can underpin local economic growth.  From AI Growth Zones and Tech Towns to AI sovereignty plans - there are lots of levers which could catalyse local tech ecosystems and the wider economy.

​We will be joined by Kanishka Narayan (AI Minister), Kim McGuinness (North East Mayor), plus special guests discuss what impact we’ve seen to date and what plans should be put in place moving forward.

​This session will be useful for local and national policy makers as well as companies exploring AI development and adoption.
