The Demos and Awards Ceremony for the Emerging Technology Competition (eTech)\u00a0\u00a0was successfully carried on 22nd March 2017. Our finalists have inspired us with their app designs and prototypes, from mobile apps, \u00a0virtual learning assistant, drones, 3D printing to blockchain technology etc. This year we have a great variety of different technologies. External sponsors from Whitbread and Virgin came as judges to give their insights and sponsored various awards for the winners. Career Networks and academics from Computer Science also gave very positive feedback to our finalists.<\/p>\n

We would like to congratulate eTech Competition 2016-17’s winners and thank you for the all the participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
