GIS2013 gains Altran support
The news comes after recent endorsement from UKTI and support from several academic institutions who have agreed to speak at the event.
Speaking about the conference, Kevin Jones, ADS director for GIS said, “If we can generate a coherent and UK-wide view, market opportunities for Autonomous and Intelligent Systems will be significant and could generate real growth and value to the UK economy from both a domestic and export perspective – Altran’s support undoubtedly bolsters our objective. The conference programme we have developed offers a great opportunity for cross-sector collaboration – if you are a producer of this technology, GIS2013 is a forum at which to meet stakeholders and potential customers to engage, learn, debate and uncover new markets and business. And if you simply want to learn how the autonomous and intelligent systems can improve your business, GIS2013 will provide you with an exclusive and informed insight.”
Keith Williams, executive director of Intelligent Systems / Altran, said: “It is expected that by 2016 there will be 2.6 billion intelligent systems worldwide, and that this rapidly growing market will be worth $1,400bn. As world leaders in the integration of intelligent systems, we are delighted to offer our support to ADS and Farnborough International Ltd (FIL) in creating an event that will be central to the vision of the future, as intelligent systems transform our world and enable major technological advances across industries.”
Amanda Stainer, commercial director for FIL said: “The impact of intelligent and autonomous systems technology on our society promises to be far reaching and shape the future world in which we live. We are excited to be bringing together the highest level of expertise in this area for the first time at Global Intelligent Systems 2013 for what we hope to be the birth of a new economy.”
