Disruptive Forces: Big Innovation focus session

The Big Innovation Centre exists to unleash the potential that comes from the new wave of accelerating advances in technologies and platforms, through open innovation and multi-disciplinary collision. With this in mind, we were pleased to announce the Disruptive Forces series. 

A perfect storm of disruptive technologies is being created by advances in biomedicine, cognition, nano and geo-engineering, combined with the explosion of possibilities in personal, social, and research data connections. Our Disruptive Forces series will examine how successful innovation will emerge collaboratively across industries, through the creativity emerging from the coalescence of thinkers from science, manufacturing, design, digital media industries and beyond. New knowledge on the impact of these advances can be used to make practical recommendations for the social, financial, regulatory and infrastructure ecosystem necessary to make the UK a global innovation hub.

Our first session in this series focused on the explosion in mobile technology and the ‘internet of things’ that is poised revolutionise transport, energy, health and social care, specifically the computer and data handling impact and how the UK can maximise its competitive advantage.
