EXIST (Exeter Initiative for Science & Technology) is a subgroup of Exeter Chamber and is a STEMM focussed group showcasing the innovative areas of expertise that we have in Exeter and the wider region.

Our ultimate goal is to make Exeter an even better place to do business for STEMM companies and organisations. We approach this goal in a number of ways (see aims & objectives below).

The group hosts topic focused events and publish Insight, a digital magazine focussing on science, technology and innovation for the business community.
