Fire Safety Hackathon

The Grenfell Tower disaster was a wakeup for fire safety. Following the tragedy and subsequent recommendations by Dame Judith Hackitt in her 'Building a Safer Future' report, the construction industry is now looking to offer potential solutions to improve fire safety design and regulations. As a result, the engineering and risk management communities are further committing to take fire safety seriously by tapping into new technologies to develop commercial solutions.

This free event will bring together industry experts, building owners, tech start-ups, coders and developers with the aim of creating new fire safety solutions that will radically change the face of fire safety in the UK and around the world. It represents a chance for these different groups to get together and develop projects that could help save lives worldwide, and come up with proposals which can be taken on for further commercial development.
