It will further highlight the region's reputation as a global hotspot for innovation and investment.

This event will introduce you to the West Midlands 5G (WM5G) team responsible for delivering the project, who will share the latest news on the programme’s features and roll out. We will also be joined by a panel of experts from a cross-section of businesses, who will discuss some of the major opportunities emerging as a direct result of the deployment of 5G across the West Midlands.

The WM5G team and our panel are set to discuss:

• What advantages the West Midlands will have as part of the first multi-city testbed in the UK
• The next steps in realising this huge opportunity
• Which key sectors the 5G team is focusing on
• How local companies can engage and profit from the 5G testbeds

The event will be chaired by Robert Franks, Managing Director, WM5G at the Library of Birmingham
