Outcome: The workshop will identify potential solutions for experimentation and demonstration in 2024 contributing to the evidence base informing SDSR 25 investment decisions.
Who Should attend: Providers of deployable base infrastructure, utilities and innovators in material, food, waste water, energy and circular economics. We also need enablers to support data capture, connectivity, processing, and performance management.
Register to Attend: The event is hybrid and free to attend. There will be limited in person attendance with wider online participation. In person tickets will be allocated on a first come first served basis and limited to one person per company.
