Silicon Roundabout - explained

An explanation of the phenomenon known as the Silicon Roundabout, what drove it's development, and how it could be replicated around the UK to become a tech-jobs creation machine. Be visionary.

London sits at the heart of the Global Digital Super-Highway - Brexit cannot change that. As part of our serious commitment to supporting local communities and our corporate social responsibility, Cityfringe are putting on this free event, to explain how to take advantage of our unique geographic position!

Discover how, through deregulation, technology miniaturisation and their effects on the London property market Silicon Roundabout came into being and how, with intelligent foresight and planning, our Local Authorities could, and should, be replicating this phenomenon all around the UK to generate well-paid jobs in the Digital Economy, especially in our deprived rural, agricultural and coastal areas. A variety of detailed network maps of Local, National and International fibre optical cable systems and infrastructure will be on show, with accompanying short talks and guided walks around Old Street roundabout explaining exactly what you are looking at, because it really isn't obvious!

ARE YOU RESPONSIBLE FOR BUSINESS SKILLS, INNOVATION AND REGENERATION IN YOUR REGION?

The event is a MUST SEE for any senior Government and Local Authority regeneration strategists and planners, social purpose visionaries, anti-poverty charities and NGO's. seeking advice on how to regenerate deprived rural areas.

It would also be of significant interest to commercial property investors as well as CEO's, CFO's, COO's, CTO's and Director level business owners/managers.
