The East Midlands iFestival is a large and popular annual celebration of the importance of innovation to the success and prosperity of the region.

New ways of working, products or services can help businesses keep or gain a competitive edge with clear wider benefits to the economy and society.

This year's iFestival will run from 12th March to 23rd April and will feature events and activities to interest everyone in business, research and the community.

It's coordinated by East Midlands Development Agency and East Midlands Innovation but involves numerous partner organisations.
