Worcestershire is an innovative county and through WINN we want to celebrate and develop this.
We believe that great things happen when people get together, which is why we'd like you to join us. We are developing a community of inspirational individuals and brilliant businesses to help the region grow and become recognised nationally as a hub of innovative ideas and projects.
So, whether you want to connect, collaborate, co-ordinate or just be inspired, WINN should be your first point of call.
It doesn't matter whether you want to be innovative with your products, services or processes, or if you just want to celebrate diversity and entrepreneurship. We can help you to showcase your ideas, learn from other innovators and be inspired.

Sometimes being innovative is just about bringing the right people together or looking at the same things with fresh eyes.

From shed to high-street. The highs and lows.
Hear about Pete's own 'Innovation through time' as he went from making inventions in his shed to bringing them to the nation's highstreets.
Pete (aka Pet with an extra e) has been making inventions since aged 6. Having worked in local government, he designed the stained-glass bus shelter. Pete set up his company Petvictus to launch Pedaldish - The Lunchbox for Pets and Katfone the Ultrasonic Whistle for Cats. Having successfully pitched in Dragons' Den and with a background as a standup comedian, Pete is now lecturing on invention and innovation. He cites Isambard Kingdom Brunel and Wile E Coyote as his greatest inspirations.
A futurists vision of A.I.
Nicola will discuss A.I.’s early failures, whether we risk a ‘rise of the machines’ style “Judgement Day” and what we need to do differently to transform cyber defence.
Named by SC Magazine as one of the Top 20 most influential women working in cyber security - Nicola's specialist areas include autonomous mitigation and A.I. driven self-defending / self-healing systems. Her first book ‘Extraordinary Women’, advocating the strengths of women in leadership, reached Amazon best-seller status on two continents.
We look forward to seeing you at our November WINN Event but don't forget to save the dates for our next event too
