10.00am – Finding Hidden Finance with Case Studies
Russell McGrath – Jumpstart Ltd.
Jumpstart specialises in research and development tax credit claims. They’ve secured millions of pounds in benefits for clients, and are identifying £2.2 million in eligible R&D activity every single week. They work hard to maximise the value and accuracy of all credit claims, ensuring clients get exactly what they deserve.
10.20am – 5G
Telefonica
5G will enable you to download a movie in seconds, or to stream a 4K movie without any buffering. We’re also likely to see a big leap forward in virtual and augmented reality applications, as 5G’s low latency and high capacity will enable advanced processing to be handled remotely rather than locally on mobile devices and headsets.
In a March 2018 report, O2 forecasts that 5G will earn the UK £6 billion a year through productivity savings. It also finds that 5G-enabled tools such as smart fridges, smart grids and electric autonomous vehicles will save householders £450 a year through lower food, council and fuel bills.
10.40am – Information Exchange – facilitated round table discussion & networking
11.00am – Meeting close
