Learning Pool, the fast growing e-learning company, is delighted to announce that it has been selected to showcase its technology at the new, multi-sector, networking event ‘Innovate UK’. The joint venture from the Technology Strategy Board and UK Trade & Investment unites the highly successful Innovate and TechWorld events and will showcase cutting edge innovation from across the UK.
Handpicked from a pool of the ‘best of the best’ in British creativity and innovation, Learning Pool will share its latest innovation with an estimated 4,000 UK and international visitors, at Innovate UK.
Innovate UK, which takes place on 11-13 March 2013, at the Business Design Centre in London aims to drive economic growth. By bringing together individuals from UK and international business, Government and academia, Innovate UK will help companies identify new investment, international trade, innovation and collaboration opportunities through networking.
Mary McKenna, Learning Pool Director said, “We’re thrilled to have been selected as the official digital representative for Innovate UK and excited to showcase the technology that has saved our customers over £50 million in the last six years. It’s also fantastic to see such a broad spectrum of innovative work across all of the sectors and we’re looking forward to being a part of the Innovate UK experience.”
Iain Gray, Chief Executive of the Technology Strategy Board said, “All of our exhibitors are specially selected by the Technology Strategy Board and UKTI to feature at the exhibition and can demonstrate truly innovative products, services or technologies that have been developed here in the UK. We’re very pleased that Learning Pool is taking part in the event and believe it is a great representation of the UK’s strength in innovative business.”
