From AI and automation to digital platforms and data-driven decision-making, new technologies are reshaping industries and redefining how businesses compete and grow.

The Business Commission West Midlands found that 52% of firms were expecting to increase their investment in technology and artificial intelligence (AI), and 64% felt it was important to provide support in the use of AI and new technologies.

Join us for the launch of the Greater Birmingham Quarterly Business Report (QBR) for Q2 2025, as we explore how businesses of all sizes can unlock new opportunities through the effective adoption of emerging technologies.

In addition to presentations from experts about how local businesses can harness technology to increase productivity, improve resilience, and drive sustainable growth, delegates will receive a copy of the latest QBR, a presentation on the key findings of the report. Join c.60 senior delegates for this insightful event, sponsored by Birmingham City University.

Attend for:

  • Headline economic findings from the latest quarterly business report
  • Expert panel discussion on tech adoption, digital transformation, and the support available for SMEs
  • Networking opportunities with c.60 senior business leaders from across Greater Birmingham
