PKF Francis Clark announces fourth annual innovation and technology conference
PKF Francis Clark today announced its fourth annual innovation and technology conference taking place at the Exeter University Innovation Centre on Tuesday 19 April 2016.
Innovation and technology plays an increasingly important role in South West businesses, improving products and production processes and in accessing new markets both at home and overseas. Alongside tax experts from PKF Francis Clark, there will be presentations from Ashfords and Crowdcube, who will bring their considerable experience and expertise to the conference.
Dashboard, an innovative firm based at Exeter Science Park, will also be speaking at the conference.
The firm offers the oil and gas industry a machine learning approach to the operation of infrastructure, focused on preventing environmental damage due to leaks, sabotage and theft.
Stuart Rogers, partner at leading accountancy firm PKF Francis Clark said: “The morning will bring together a number of topical issues to those involved in innovation and technology, from start-ups to multi-million pound turnover businesses. The convergence of social media, cloud computing, new mobile technologies and Big Data has dramatically transformed the way we do business and is reshaping every aspect of society today.
"Businesses are continuously looking for new ways to increase their competitive advantage and we look forward to exploring some of these ways at our fourth annual innovation conference.”
