This event was streamed live on the Academy's YouTube channel with the opportunity for live viewers to submit questions.
What do some of the UK’s most exciting innovators from the worlds of engineering research and enterprise have to say about technology and the future?
How will emerging technologies shape our lives in the year ahead, and what challenges will need to be addressed to ensure they have a positive impact on society? What era-defining technological innovations are on the horizon, and what is just hype?
Join us as we attempt to answer these questions and more in a hybrid panel discussion chaired by The Times’ Technology Business Editor Katie Prescott. Guests will hear expert predictions about the impact of engineering and technology on our future, and will also have an opportunity to put questions to our panellists.
Our panel of speakers includes:
- Professor Daniele Faccio FRSE, a Royal Academy of Engineering Chair in Emerging Technologies and Professor of Quantum Technologies, University of Glasgow
- Professor Cathy Craig, CEO and co-founder of INCISIV
