TechNExt is a celebration of the North East’s thriving technology sector. The Data & AI Hub sponsored by hedgehog lab, brought together experts, innovators and leaders to explore the opportunities and challenges shaping artificial intelligence, machine learning and the data foundations that power them.

This particular panel discussion focused on taking AI from pilot to production and creating genuine business value. Huge thanks to hedgehog lab host Katy Nokes as well as our panellists Anshuman Bagri, Russell Collingham, Logan Oliver and Mujeeb Ahmed for sharing their expertise and experiences. The response was incredible: a packed main stage, plenty of audience engagement, and honestly, it felt like a conversation that could have gone on much longer.
