By Safiya Bashir  Wednesday Jun 16, 2021

In a free event taking place on July 8, Bristol24/7 will be partnering with the Bristol Innovators’ Group to explore how innovation can fast-forward Bristol’s economic recovery.

The Bristol24/7 Community Manager, Hannah Beatrice will host a panel discussion alongside James Snelgrove, an Innovation Specialist with Business West.

The pandemic has proved challenging for many industries and has stalled the city’s economy. However, has the last year also proved to be an opportunity for businesses to innovate and meet these challenges?

The full extent of the Covid-19 pandemic on industries is not yet known but it has already proved important for developing new technologies and wider change at an exponential rate. To meet the challenges we are facing, businesses have had no choice but to constantly innovate themselves to adapt to our new normal.

Join discussions with the Bristol Innovators’ Group and expert panellists on the future of Bristol’s businesses and the role innovation may have towards economic recovery.

Business owners from around Bristol will also give their thoughts in a video. Experts will discuss what they think needs to change and what some of the biggest challenges of the last year have been.

If you would like to contribute to the video, which will be shared during our panel event, all you need to do is film yourselves on your phone, landscape if possible, answering the below three questions by next June 23 and sending to hannah@bristol247.com:
