Save the Date: Safe Autonomy Industry Summit 2027
Event details
The Safe Autonomy Industry Summit brings together industry leaders, technical experts and researchers from across sectors to share insights, compare practical approaches and tackle the complex safety, assurance and regulatory challenges of deploying AI and autonomous systems. Hosted at the Institute for Safe Autonomy at the University of York, the event gathers professionals from across aerospace, transport, energy, health and agri-tech. The focus will be on networking, practical demonstrations, discussion and sharing expertise.
Whether you are developing autonomous technologies or looking to adopt them within your organisation, join us to explore solutions and connect with industry colleagues working to solve these shared challenges.
During the day you will:
- See practical demonstrations of how researchers and industry partners are solving key safety challenges in autonomous systems.
- Learn how a Knowledge Transfer Partnership can connect your business with University of York expertise and co-funding opportunities to strengthen your business.
