Collaborative platform Innovation Exchange (IX) has moved to the new hub at the Home of Skills & Technology in a bid to grow AI knowledge and tech expertise in the region at a "state-of-the-art" TV studio.

IX said it will deliver masterclasses, technology showtime and advanced technology content digitally at the site, which is operated by IN4.0 Group.

Mo Isap, CEO of IN4.0 Group, operators of HOST, said: “We are excited to welcome Innovation Exchange to HOST as its new headquarters, so we can work together in expanding the AI community in the North with an inclusive offering to Skills City’s learners and organisations across the public and private sector.

“We are on a mission to make technology widely available.

"AI’s benefits are huge, but we must increase access, share knowledge and improve understanding to enable both people and businesses to benefit.

"Ultimately, this will drive prosperity in the region and champion ethical solutions for innovations, particularly in AI technology.”
