New snapshot on robotics in 2025: the shift is from prototypes to deployable systems across warehouses, hospitals, production lines and human-centred spaces. The story is not “more robots,” but better integration. Where scale happens next will define the next decade biforesight.com/robotics/rob...

The UK has the research strength and the founders to lead in semiconductors - what’s missing is scale. The gap isn’t ideas, it’s integration: moving from breakthrough to production, from labs to global markets. Can we build the coordination to match the ambition? biforesight.com/materials/uk...

We have more satellites than ever before, but when they burn up they create a new kind of air pollution. Evidence is now revealing what effects this could have and how to tackle it

UK can’t outscale on chips - but it can outthink. Prof. Martin Kuball is betting on GaN, SiC, even diamond. High-voltage semiconductors = faster EV charging, smarter grids. “Unless the charging’s better, no point in having an EV.” biforesight.com/materials/be...

The UK has world-class semiconductor strengths in Cambridge, Bristol, Glasgow and Newport. With fresh investment, stronger coordination and the National Semiconductor Centre, the country is poised to lead globally in chips, photonics and compound semiconductors. biforesight.com/ai/what-will...

From jazz clubs to quantum labs, Christopher Bishop shows why deep tech needs rock stars, not just researchers. Robotics tells the same story: ideas only scale with skills, policy + creativity. Curious, find out more in our newsletter 👉 Sign up: biforesight.com/newsletter/

From bass lines to qubits: Christopher Bishop shows how curiosity, not credentials, can unlock the quantum workforce. Quantum needs translators as much as physicists. 840k roles by 2035 - are you ready? #quantum #music #technology #jobs #deeptech #qubits biforesight.com/quantum/from...

Shaping the future means looking beyond the headline breakthroughs to the systems that turn ideas into impact. Technology will only scale if we build the right bridges between research, skills, and business. #quantum #robotics #deeptech #technology www.linkedin.com/pulse/from-c...

Soft robots, big ambitions. From Bristol’s octopus-inspired arm to warehouse and surgical bots, UK robotics is scaling fast. With skills, regulation and investment aligned, the UK could turn ingenuity into global industrial strength. #robotics #bots #business biforesight.com/robotics/sof...

Europe’s deep tech strength is clear – now it’s about scale. SPIN: Rise from EITDigital shows how structured commercialisation can turn research into ventures. The UK has the assets to match – and a chance to lead together in the “intelligent age”. #DeepTech biforesight.com/ai/what-the-...

Quantum tech is “hard squared” says Boeing’s Jay Lowell – so why put it in space? Earlier this year Anna Demming explored Bristol’s John Rarity, Boeing & Rotonium in a new space race aiming for an entangled, photonic, quantum-secure planet. #quantum #space biforesight.com/quantum/quan...

Innovation is rarely the product of a single breakthrough – it’s the sum of the networks, rules and environments that either accelerate or obstruct it. The blueprint may already exist. The challenge is to scale it. #telecoms #quantum #innovation #technology www.linkedin.com/pulse/innova...

UK telecoms still runs on rules from the era of state monopolies – but the real innovation power now sits with hyperscalers, AI, optics & quantum. If regulation doesn’t enable openness, start‑ups locked out #Telecoms #Innovation #Quantum #AI @uktinetwork.bsky.social biforesight.com/future-telec...
