2014 - An ICT Futurology

The Hampshire ICT Futurology Conference

The conference will be a stimulating mix of presentations from leading Hampshire businesses and innovators.

This conference will allow for cooperation, yielding a shared vision, laying the groundwork for collaboration, ultimately leading to innovation.

Over 100 business delegates are expected to attend, drawn from innovative, technology and/or knowledge based companies within the Hampshire region.

The program will feature presentations from leading businesses within IT, new media and communications alongside leading innovators, panel sessions, and networking sessions focused on promoting innovation and connecting innovators

There will be a supporting business exhibition and a showcase of ‘hot’ innovative companies.

Event Premise

Technology Multi-National Corporations (MNC'S) need to achieve a continuous, focused, and highly selective research and development (R&D) flow.
In parallel, the shortening of product life cycles has produced a parallel need to reduce/collapse developmental timelines; this often demands the use of specialist and increasingly, independent resource.
A lack of new product "pipeline" and the shortage of parallel in-house resource to develop such products, means that independent Information and Communication Technology (ICT) specialists are now accepted by MNC's as part of their global resource.
As MNC's are large-opportunity focused, and early-stage averse, such collaborations offer real opportunities to smaller leading-edge technology businesses; hence many have been "adopted" as a source of both new ideas and pure research by larger MNC's.
However, the link between the large technology companies, the smaller developmental companies, and the R&D "boutiques" is tenuous; such links would be improved by a better understanding of the market's real developmental focus.

Critically,

"Understanding local ICT MNC's requirements will determine R&D sector focus, and the commercial posture required to drive such collaborative commercial relationships.

Companies working together can gain a business edge by developing stronger propositions, ideas and speed up market success..."

Event Goals

To provide direction and focus for the local ICT Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and HEI's in regard to their research and development programmes and process.
This in turn to be based upon the direction where MNC's are focussing research within the ICT sector.
The conference will also focus on developing best practices in commercial alliances and the development of partner relationships
