Innovation Alley

"A unique and valuable opportunity for innovation-led, new and emerging businesses wishing to explore international markets"

Innovation Alley participants will be able to display their concepts, products and services to Mayors, city and business leaders from across the globe in a dedicated space at the entrance to the APCS Market Square exhibition.

Participating companies will receive a display area for half a day, ensuring that Innovation Alley is a dynamic space with changing exhibits.
