AXIS 2027
The Challenge Exchange

Real problems from industry, answers from research

Operators and partners describe a technical problem they have not solved. Researchers, students and start-ups who could help say so here. The organisers then arrange 20-minute meetings between them at the conference.

Answer a challenge

A few sentences are enough: what you have done that fits, and what you would bring. The challenge owner reads the answers, and we email you if they would like to meet you at the conference.

  1. Answer before the conferenceThe earlier the better: meetings are arranged as answers come in.
  2. ShortlistThe challenge owner chooses who to meet. The committee arranges it; there is no automatic scheduler.
  3. Meet for 20 minutesAt the Challenge Exchange area, with a confirmation email to both sides.
For operators and partners

Propose a challenge

Describe the problem, how far the technology has got, and what kind of help you want. We check every card with you before it is published, and keep it free of confidential detail. Your contact details are never shown.

On the day each challenge owner has five minutes and one slide in the Challenge Exchange session, then meets the teams they choose.

We use these details to reply to you about the challenge. See our privacy notice.
