Attendees will have the opportunity to attend a host of events including a concert with the award winning composer Hans Zimmer, the Drone Racing League (DRL) Season Finale and The Europas, which will welcome 1,000 European start-ups to the capital.
Sanbot intelligent service robot, highlighted before the hi-tech event, posed in front of Big Ben to promote London Tech Week.
Sanbot robotics, powered by QIHAN Technology and with AI system powered by IBM Watson, is an Open API robot for developers to develop and install various applications to adapt to scenarios where Sanbot works. It can be used for retail, hospitality, education and healthcare industries.
Last month, QIHAN Technology just issued its most innovative business system- MPS (Multi-service Platform System) at Innorobo Exhibition. MPS is a central management system that enables business to control all the Sanbot anywhere through the MPS webpage, whatever the robots are doing, such as entertainment, customer reception, promotional activities, product introduction or record big data, etc.
The Mayor of London Sadiq Khan commented "London is Europe’s leading technology hub. Our talent, diversity, entrepreneurial spirit and global connections put us at the heart of digital technology. London Tech Week will be a fantastic opportunity to show that London is open to collaboration, innovation and ideas that could change the way that all Londoners live and experience the city."
London is home to over 46,000 technology businesses, contributing 240,000 jobs for the city’s economy. Since the EU referendum, London-based tech companies have received over £1billion in venture capital investment.
Zoe Osmond, Festival Director for London Tech Week said: With a wide range of events to appeal to different audiences, London Tech Week will bring together investors, entrepreneurs, policy makers and business leaders to experience London’s strengths in innovation and creativity.”
Throughout the week, over 40,000 visitors will hear from tech, business and political leaders including the Rt. Hon Gordon Brown, Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Sir Martin Sorrell, CEO WPP and Nicola Mendelsohn, VP EMEA at Facebook.
A short film has been created, spreading the message that London is Open to technology talent, investment and innovation. The film shows London is at the forefront of innovation, featuring scenes including a driverless POD’, Robots in the workplace and even The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, taking the first roboselfie.
In the film, Mr. Sadiq Khan even took a photo of himself with Sanbot robot. Both his self-photographing action and the hi-tech robot amazed the viewers. Who was the model of the other on earth, the Mayor of London or the cute hi-tech robot? You got the answer!
