Equipping SMEs for innovation

Urban Foresight is delighted to have been commissioned by Sunderland Software City to run a series of rapid-fire workshops for digital & creative SMEs.

As digital technologies continue to disrupt industries, staying ahead of the game becomes the difference between innovating and being disrupted. Your most powerful assets are innovation and creativity, and these are amplified when people are excited, energised and engaged: when people are passionate about what they are doing, having fun and getting results.
