Festival of the Future: Futurefest22

Our Festival of the Future is in its third year. The festival showcases exciting digital innovations happening across the county.

This year's festival runs from 10 to 14 October 2022 in 5 different locations; Bridport, Dorchester, Ferndown, Weymouth and Winfrith.

Futurefest22 features:

ground-breaking digital innovation in farming, education, tourism, health, climate and more
discussions about the importance of inclusion, data, skills, and potential careers in the sector
listening to the latest thinking and sharing ideas about the possibilities of a digital future
exploring what we've learnt from the 5G RuralDorset project and how that could be applied to an urban setting
what a digital town might look like in the future and how we could use technology to solve some of our local challenges, using Weymouth as a setting

We won't necessarily deliver solutions and some of these ideas might never take off. But we want to help you start thinking about the opportunities for digital innovation using expertise that already exists at the Dorset Innovation Park. This could help make Dorset an even better place to live, work and visit.
