The Hartree Centre Cardiff Hub team were delighted to participate in the Western Gateway Convention on Oct 17th at the International Convention Centre Wales. Around 500 attendees were urged to be bolder, braver and more ambitious by Sarah Williams-Gardener, Chair of Western Gateway, during her opening address, as we have the potential to be the fastest growing economic area outside of London. We also heard from Dame Nia Griffiths MP Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Wales and Rebecca Evans MS, Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning. We briefed attendees on our support to small and medium-sized enterprises, aimed at helping SMEs along their AI journeys: an “Assist” is a 12-hour partnership led by our data scientists and a “Project” is a 1-3 month piece of work with the company. Prof Roger Whitaker, Cardiff University Pro Vice-Chancellor for Research Innovation and Enterprise, was a keynote speaker at the convention. He said, “I’m very pleased to see the Hartree Centre Cardiff Hub showcasing its offer in the Tech and Cyber Zone. The Hub is uniquely positioned as part of the University’s innovation ecosystem to connect cutting-edge AI research and development with the needs of Western Gateway SMEs.” Interested in how we can support your business’s AI ambitions?

The Hartree Centre Cardiff Hub team had an enjoyable day on Oct 8th at the MediWales Members Showcase at the Maltings in Cardiff. We shared our offer of support with 44 SMEs in the Welsh MedTech sector: an “Assist” is a 12-hour partnership led by our Data Scientists and a “Project” is a 1-3 month piece of work with the company. It was great hearing about all the exciting work happening in and around South Wales during the 17 lightning talks. The Hub supports SMEs across all sectors, not just MedTech.
