Programmes: Frontier Tech
A series of events exposing successful tech scale-ups to future R&D opportunities.
Frontier Tech is a focused series of innovation events designed to help technically advanced businesses understand, experiment and apply transformative technologies in practical, high-impact ways.
Quantum computing and advanced AI are no longer distant possibilities; they’re reshaping how complex industries design, optimise and compete, delivering real-world innovation. At these sessions with University of Sussex experts and Sussex Innovation facilitators, you’ll explore how these next generation applications are being designed to work in dynamic, high-uncertainty environments, from aerospace systems and energy grids to healthcare diagnostics and manufacturing automation.

“With such a large and diverse team it was difficult to keep a coherent message in a presentation setting. Peter helped prepare us for the pitch by running a mock interview and coaching us to present in an effective way that resulted in us securing the funding.”
“Perfect hosts, perfect venue, perfect food, perfect ethos. Sussex Innovation walk the walk, and it was an honour to collaborate with them and their team.”
This project is part of the Regional Tech Booster programme, funded by the UK Government and supported by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, in partnership with the UK Tech Cluster Group.
