From wearable wellbeing tech to responsive homes that know what you need\, from caring for pets to protecting the planet\, from financing our whole life to how we educate ourselves and others through life\, from tourism & leisure and how we enjoy life we will explore how to turn powerful ideas into solutions that enhance real life. \n  \nWe get attendees thinking about: \n\nHow can businesses create data-driven products and services that aid consumers’ most important needs and wants?\nWhat are people’s unmet expectations and aspirations around hardware and software innovation?\nAnd how can we create a more ‘caring’ future together?\n\n  \nIn this workshop\, we encourage participants to identify and explore the current challenges that businesses and other stakeholders in the region should address when developing new ‘Stuff’ using ‘Smart Technologies’. \n  \nTogether\, Voice® members and businesses will be able to develop design insights about care and data-driven technologies that will help people live better lives\, as well as solutions that will be beneficial to your end-users and stakeholders. \n  \nThis is an opportunity for eligible businesses to ensure your products are designed ‘with’ your target market\, not ‘for’ them\, in order to create and build cross-collaborative relationships\, enriching your product or service’s life-cycle development. \n  \nSign up here Smart Stuff: Creating the Future of Technology
