Tech event
Ukrainian investor Peter Chernyshov, who relocated to Scotland over a decade ago, will be among the speakers at the inaugural tech gathering Digital DNA Glasgow, taking place at the SEC next week.
Since the outbreak in Ukraine Mr Chernyshov has been supporting refugees fleeing Ukraine but also tech entrepreneurs in his home land.
He will be interviewed on stage by Scottish Business Network chairman Russell Dalgleish about tech innovation from Ukraine, current conditions in war-torn country and the part Scotland can play.
Mr Chernyshov is among a line-up of more than 55 speakers at the one-day event covering a range of topics including space tech and fintech, as well as the creative and gaming industries.
Glasgow-based Chris Newlands of satellite firm Spelfie was placed fourth in the world’s top 10 space entrepreneurs, beaten only by Richard Branson, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. He will share his vast knowledge of space tech and reveal the business opportunities there are in relation to space, and how Scotland can best take advantage.
Jamie Bartlett, the author, journalist and presenter, will use examples from his new book to draw out lessons for the wider IT community and sketch out the future of online crime and what can be done to tackle it.
Fiona McKinnon, CEO and co-founder of Moment Company, will outline how everyone can use simple and quick techniques to help them recharge and reset during busy or stressful days.
Other speakers are from Akari Solutions, Ardmore Advertising, Barclays Eagle Labs, Brillbrand, Bruntwood SciTech, Codebase, Corby, Glasgow Science Centre, Google, Greenbackers, Made Brave, No Code Studio, Pulsion, Scotland Women in Technology, Tag Digital and the University of Glasgow.
