At Here East on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, this event will examine the growth opportunities for companies combining digital innovation with creative arts and showcase the immersive technologies – esports, metaverse, virtual reality – set to define the next decade of innovation in London.

The event will feature the official launch of Shift: the new inclusive innovation district and partnership on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park with a mission to create better urban futures. Shift will showcase how innovators across sectors are coming together to address the big sustainability challenges of our time and test solutions at the Park.

As a London Tech Week 2022 anchor event, we will also bring together the founding partners of Europe’s biggest tech festival to reflect on the key themes and trends from the week.

Hosted by Ben Thompson from BBC Breakfast, this will be a hybrid event at Plexal Park – the innovation centre within Here East.
