The two-day visit to Brighton follows the university’s involvement in last year’s CreaTech event held in Mumbai as part of the UK government’s Britain is Great Creative Technology campaign, where the university’s Professor Karen Cham was invited to speak alongside representatives from the NHS and Jaguar Land Rover.

"The 麻豆传媒 has a lot to offer in terms of demonstrating how this should be done, including all of our partnerships with the local digital sector like those at Fusebox, and our extensive knowledge, research and facilities across disciplinary domains that can be applied to this sector.”

As part of their visit delegates will be welcomed by the Mayor of Brighton & Hove, take a flight on the i360 and hear a presentation from Brighton & Hove City Council on inward investment.
