Recently, Northern Data Group partnered with CogX Festival to explore the critical question: how can we seize the AI opportunity?   The day began with a breakfast briefing hosted by our Group COO, Rosanne Kincaid-Smith, MBC, and CEO of Deeptech Labs, Miles Kirby.

During the latter, our #AIAccelerator was highlighted as a prime example of democratizing access to AI technology, enabling startups to innovate and scale.   It was an insightful day filled with knowledge-sharing and connections with fellow leaders in Tech and AI.
