Advanced Manufacturing
We are in the middle of a 4th industrial revolution. Advancements in smart manufacturing, robotics, AI and the Internet of Things (IoT) will have far-reaching implications for the way we build and deliver goods.
Precision Medicine & Health Innovation
Advances in new technologies and innovative combinations of existing ones are transforming how we tailor healthcare. SMEs across a range of specialisms, from machine learning and artificial intelligence to genomics, big data and digital imaging are working with health and life sciences experts to drive forward a new healthcare revolution.
Innovation in Education
In recent years, we’ve seen transformative changes in how to nurture and inspire the minds of tomorrow. Identifying creative ways to connect with those in education and re-imagining how teaching is expressed and experienced will ensure we produce a new generation of thinkers and innovators go on to make a meaningful impact upon society.
