TUESDAY 1 JULY Venturefest Village activities

Technology Showcase

The Technology Showcase is an exhibition of innovative technology from our local entrepreneurs, coordinated by The Oxford Trust. Small and early-stage companies, representing a wide range of different technology sectors, will display their products and services through a series of visual displays, hands-on demonstrations and short soapbox presentations.

The Showcase provides all delegates with a chance to learn more about the innovative technologies that are being commercialised by local companies. Companies will be on hand to demonstrate their technology and answer questions.
