working at Darwin

MWC Barcelona ran from 27 February to 2 March this year at the Fira Gran Via. Adnan Salkic, Darwin’s VP of Sales and Business Development, went along in order to catch up with Darwin’s partners and connect with potential new clients.

Both the UK and Canada have an interest in the potential of autonomous vehicles, and the countries can achieve greater heights in the connected and automated mobility (CAM) sector by working together. From 4 to 10 March 2023, the UK’s national innovation agency Innovate UK brought a delegation from the UK to Ontario in order to develop connections with potential partners, as part of its Global Business Innovation Programme.

The attendees were organisations developing CAM solutions, and Darwin was pleased to be part of the UK delegation. Our co-founder and delivery director, Daniela Petrovic, went to Ontario to discuss Darwin’s work with autonomous vehicles, such as the Darwin Autonomous Shuttle, and how our vehicle communications technology can support automated mobility.

Education is essential for innovation to take place, and Darwin is proud to have strong links to academia in its partnerships with the University of Oxford and the University of Glasgow.

In February 2023, Darwin’s co-founder Daniela Petrovic was invited to the University of Oxford’s Saïd Business School as a guest lecturer. Daniela was pleased to present Darwin to participants in the business school’s 2023 MBA programme as an example of technological and business innovation.

We were honoured to welcome Viljar Lubi, Ambassador of Estonia to the UK, to Harwell Science and Innovation Campus on 8 February. Ambassador Lubi was interested in the work we’re doing to bring Estonia-based Auve Tech’s autonomous shuttle to UK roads.

In 2022, LEAP became the largest debut tech event in history, with over 100,000 attendees. It’s a great opportunity to connect with innovators across different industries, and Darwin was pleased to attend the second LEAP conference this year.
