Organised by Meena Chander, CEO of Events Together, the awards will take place at the unique and exciting Unity Place Venue in Grafton Place, Milton Keynes.
Meena said: “I believe that STEM is the future of Milton Keynes as it continues to build its reputation as one of the UK’s premier Science, Engineering & Technology hubs. MK has had a long-standing focus on STEM related activities in business and education including R&D, start-ups and incubators, and inbound investment from larger national and international companies with MK being at the forefront of innovation, productivity, and competitiveness for years.
“The feedback on the new Awards programme has been really positive, and we’ve already attracted partners such as Unity Place – our venue sponsor, Outlook Creative Group – our production sponsor and Women Leaders, who stepped forward with their support immediately.
“I believe there couldn’t be a better time to launch a dedicated MK STEM Awards programme, which will give us the opportunity to recognise and celebrate our STEM heroes throughout this amazing city and surrounding areas.”
