Here East hosts London Tech Week closing ceremony

What a way to round up another fantastic London Tech Week. Last week we hosted London Future: Tech, Creative Arts and Innovation on the Olympic Park. We brought the industry together to examine growth opportunity for companies combining digital innovation with creative arts, and provide a platform to the leading experts, pioneers and creatives at the forefront of this movement.

It was a great opportunity to formally launch SHIFT – the new innovation district on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. SHIFT will be London’s living testbed for creating better urban futures. With a mission to solve some of the pressing issues in modern city living, it will drive inclusive innovation in climate adaptation and resilience, health and wellbeing and advanced mobility solutions. The district will bring significant economic value to the area and will drive further job creation in the region.

To mark the occasion we showcased some of the most innovative companies on the Park, including:

• D-Ford: D-Ford works with Ford to develop and deliver innovative solutions to the transport industry by improving mobility, connectivity and autonomy. D-Ford featured Mach-E, Ford’s first electric passenger vehicle at the showcase.
• Mumbli: Mumbli is a smart hearing platform promoting wellness through their innovation technologies that can monitor sound quality and health noise levels. They apply their technology in venues to certify their sound systems and ensure they are inclusive for all.
