skignz CEO, speaks at the Houses of Parliament

India Technology Summit – Presented by Kosta from Empact – The startup super connectors.

We were proud to be part of this Technology Summit that was hosted at the Houses of Parliament. Where our very own Counder & CEO, Si Brown, had a chance to air his views on technology and its future, plus engage with some powerful leading figures. 

Following the successful hosting of 19 summits at the UK Parliament over the years and having engaged around 2700 delegates from more than thousand organisations, Europe India Centre for Business and Industry, supported by Sivaleen Inc and Empact Ventures, organised the 'India Technology Summit 2017' 

The event is designed to discuss, promote and talk about future developments for companies that are involved in Internet development, Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Fintech, Electronic Systems, Communications, Cyber Security and Retail Security. This summit attracts technology experts, technology companies from the UK/Europe and India, policymakers from UK and India, British MPs and Member of House of Lords and other leading invited guests.

In addition to these interesting technology companies, there were also around 5-6 British MPs who attended. 

So you can imagine, it was a wonderful experience for both Si and Alan Clayton, skignz's Global Communication Manager, to attend this prestigious event and have a greater of understanding of what is actually happening in all areas of the internet world. A huge honour was Si being invited to speak on two panels; The Investment Panel and The Next Best Thing Panel. 

Si was personally asked to explain the difference between AR & VR. He proceeded to asked the 70+ delegates to download the skignz App and view some of the content placed around the Houses of Parliament. Companies such as, Pizza Hut, Jaguar Land Rover, Santander, Hay Group were also asked to speak.

And we proud that Si has since been invited to speak at a further summit at a venue still to be disclosed in Russia. We will keep you posted on this awesome news.
