What does this involve?

TORCH is a business advisory service designed to speed up data-driven innovation and change, whilst encouraging collaborations between businesses. It enables clients who have developed a data strategy to overcome the challenges of starting new data projects.

This service allows businesses to trial and become successful with data technologies through engagement with The Data Lab experts and qualified supplier organisations.

TORCH addresses the following topics:
