Connected Ecosystems January Meetup

Join Digital Catapult, the UK authority on advanced digital technology, for our third Connected Ecosystems event. We will hear from prominent speakers who are at the forefront of Web3 innovation in the UK and beyond, with plenty of time for networking over pizza and drinks, as well as visits to our Labs.

Prominent technologies associated with Web3 include blockchain platforms like Ethereum and Polkadot, as well as Decentralised Finance (DeFi) applications, the tokenisation of Real-World Assets (RWAs) & Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) etc.

People of all backgrounds, ages and interests are welcome.

This event aims to give entrepreneurs a voice to demo their Web3 innovation to help inspire the community and expose the audience to the real business challenges that can be tackled with Web3 technologies.

We also share insights about the latest trends in Web3 that help entrepreneurs navigate this rapidly moving technology landscape.

The talks will focus on success stories from startups and scaleups who have successfully launched disruptive Web3 products on the UK market.

This event consists of two talks and demos followed by a 30 minute panel discussion, where you will have the opportunity to hear from our experts about what the opportunities for your business are and how to best get started with Web3.
