Creating Opportunities and Member Value

The uO platform was created to be more than just another 'talk shop'. Our goal is to create a marketplace that connects people and organisations to new opportunities.

Already this has proven to be a more efficient, cost effective path to new opportunities than traditional conferences and trade shows.

Workshops

Bringing Life Back to High Streets

urbanOvation assembled a team of expert members for a 1-day workshop to assist a UK political party in developing a policy paper for how best to revitalise city centres.

We anticipate that this initiative will generate project opportunities for uO members to advise local councils on the implementation of workshop recommendations.

Advisory Services

Making a Difference

uO has assembled and managed expert teams to solve a range of policy, project and management challenges. Drawing on Community expertise, uO members have delivered €150M in funding for a project in Paris and are assisting with planning for a significant site in West London.

These initiatives have generated revenue for the members that referred the opportunity and those delivering the solution. Contact Elliott Hale for more information
