    The Technology Ventures Conference 2010 will serve as a platform to display how high-tech products continue to push back the boundaries of human ability. Breakthroughs in bioengineering, sensors, and smart materials are transforming recreational and professional sports. People can heal faster and go longer. New feats are achieved daily and new avenues are available to engage sports and gaming consumers thanks to current multimedia technology. The Telegraph has already coined this era as The Golden Decade of Sports in the UK, and CUTEC hopes to address the opportunities and limitations of high-tech businesses entering this timely market.
