Innovate 2017<\/a> is happening on 8 and 9 November 2017 at the National Exhibition Centre<\/a> (NEC) in Birmingham \u2013 and you can follow the event at work or from home.<\/p>\n

The focus is on UK innovation\u2019s role in tackling some of the biggest global challenges. You can learn about what these challenges mean for individuals, businesses and government, through our social media channels, alongside the opportunities for entrepreneurs to come up with their own solutions.<\/p>\n

Keep up with the action<\/h2>\n

During the 2 days we\u2019ll be hosting a number of live video interviews on Facebook.<\/p>\n

We will be speaking with some of the UK\u2019s top innovators across various sectors and industries, including the winners of the 2 awards that will be handed out. These are the innovation in design award, voted for by Innovate UK colleagues, and the peer-to-peer award, which is voted for by those attending the event.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll also provide a look around the centre itself so you can experience the event from afar.<\/p>\n
