A new initiative designed to bring industry-leading insights to local businesses has officially launched. The Oxford Innovation Sessions, a series of six exclusive talks, will feature experts from top companies including Microsoft, Barclays, and Oxford Innovation Finance, covering cutting-edge topics in Artificial Intelligence, Business Development, Marketing, and more.

The Oxford Innovation Sessions aim to address some of the most pressing challenges faced by businesses today, from securing financing and leveraging new technologies, to navigating the evolving digital marketing landscape.

The Oxford Innovation Sessions will run from now until March 2025, with events exclusively available to Oxford Innovation Space customers.

Each session will feature a 30-minute talk from a leading expert followed by interactive Q&A, all streamed live online.

The first event, “Developing Intelligent Solutions with AI and Unlocking GPT’s Power”, will be led by Michael Gillett & Paul Veck from Microsoft on Thursday, November 19th. You can sign up for this event here.

The session will provide valuable insights into securing funding from angel investors and venture capitalists, a critical topic for startups and growing businesses.
