Collaboration Nation: inspired by technology
Collaboration Nation: Technology Inspired event gives small businesses the chance to show their ideas to potential partners and investors.

Companies who pitched have been working on various everyday life issues such as:
- improving road safety by checking your tyres with a photo (with 2011-2020 being the United Nations’ decade for action on road safety)
- beating cancer by developing an early warning screen to spot cancer secondaries early so medical intervention can kill those secondaries and save lives
