Topics covered included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Will Agritech be Dorset\u2019s top industry, will drones deliver our food, and will our children be educated online?<\/li>\n<li>How will tech reduce Dorset\u2019s carbon consumption, provide career opportunities for school leavers or enable people to remain living independently as they age?<\/li>\n<li>How could we use technology in a rural county to tackle some of our local challenges?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-27173 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/digileaders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Norm.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Residents and businesses were invited to Breakfast at Kingston Maurward College, Dorchester to hear what experts think are the future digital opportunities and developments.
