Hosted by York & North Yorkshire Local Enterprise Partnership Chair, Helen Simpson OBE, the event saw a succession of high-profile speakers from 13 regional businesses take to the stage at the Radisson York Hotel.
Keynote speaker, former BBC Dragons’ Den ‘Dragon’ Piers Linney, told more than 200 attendees they needed to be audacious in embracing technology as part of devolution. He argued new technology, such as artificial intelligence (AI), offered the chance to level up the workforce, making background and disabilities irrelevant.
