Then this is the workshop for you!
What will I learn?
• Using case studies on data driven technology innovation, we will help you to unlock some of Oxford city’s smart solutions through accessing open source data from the city, county councils, and NHS Trusts.
• You will learn how to build technology-based solutions, which will enable your business to develop sustainable systems and ‘smart’ (technology based) solutions.
