About the event
An exclusive morning during Cambridge Tech Week 2026
As part of the next chapter for BTLS within Ascension X, we are pleased to invite you to an exclusive event taking place during Cambridge Tech Week 2026.
AI is no longer a future trend — it is a commercial force reshaping how organisations compete, scale and create value. The next wave of advantage will belong to leaders who use AI boldly and inclusively: expanding access to talent, unlocking sharper insights, and building solutions for broader, higher-growth markets.
Join Ascension X and Homerton Changemakers, Homerton College, University of Cambridge for an energising morning of insight, debate and collaboration — and help define how inclusive innovation can drive measurable business impact.
This is a call to rethink innovation — not as an internal initiative, but as a scalable growth engine powered by diverse talent, wider markets and commercial opportunity.
Hear about the latest developments in Generative AI and how it is unlocking new opportunities in collaborative design engineering and inclusive innovation.
