Brazen Bus Tour 3

A minibus tour of three Bristol companies that build physical technology, run as part of techSPARK's Brazen festival. Roughly half an hour inside each of Open Bionics, WASE and Smartbox. The organisers put the range as bionic arms through to compact fusion reactors, and the point is to see the labs and talk to the people who work in them. Itinerary: 14:30 Open Bionics (BS1 2NB), 15:10 WASE (BS5 0SP), 16:05 Smartbox (BS1 5PU), ending at 16:30. The bus starts at Open Bionics and finishes at Smartbox, and this tour is followed by casual drinks at Smartbox. Places are limited; the same tour also runs at 9:30 and 12:00. Why go: working labs are not usually open to visitors, and of the three tours this is the one with drinks at the end, which is where the conversations actually happen. Best for engineers, hardware founders and anyone hiring into deep tech.
