I am celebrating one year as CEO, Digital Catapult, an incredibly interesting time to join the sector, with an unexpected early UK Election, Leadership changes at UK Research and Innovation and Innovate UK, alongside spending reviews and scrutiny on the purpose and value of the Catapult Network. My year has been filled meeting the most inspiring of Innovators, Investors, Industry, Academia, Select Committees, Ministerial meetings and engaging Nationally. We have a tremendous group of high calibre talent focused on Deep tech research and technology innovation and I am proud to be a part of the team. My thanks to E2E and The Independent for adding me to the top 100 female leaders of the UK's fastest growing companies! https://lnkd.in/ee-kUp6Z   Congratulations to everyone on the list, genuinely, I am most excited to be in the same list as Trinny Woodall / Trinny London whose business savvy I celebrate and cheer women who take courage in their 50's to do something new (....those who know, know :0). Might I say, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is definitely not 'woke' and is essential to the UK's collective business future and success. UK innovation is thriving but we can do more, read my perspective in Startups Magazine https://lnkd.in/eDXSmEsT or read more about Digital Catapult Impact Report 2024: https://lnkd.in/ec2sqUk3 #E2EFemale100 #DigitalInnovation #DeepTech #Collaboration #UKTech #DigitalTransformation #UKCreativeEngine  #Innovation #Createch #DigitalTransformation #AI #5G #Collaboration #FutureNetworks #EDI #Deeptech

To help the UK reach its net zero commitments, we demonstrate leadership in sustainability through deep tech innovation, including AI. Last week, we explored opportunities for AI in decarbonisation as part of the Artificial Intelligence for Decarbonisation’s Virtual Centre of Excellence (ADViCE) initiative. The panel discussion underscored three highlights. 🔋 AI for energy optimisation: From forecasting renewable energy supply and demand to optimising grid performance, AI is revolutionising how we balance and distribute clean energy. 🌱 AI in agriculture and carbon sequestration: Digital twins, farm emissions modelling, and AI-driven land management help farmers reduce carbon footprints and optimise resource use. 🧩 Data is the key to AI’s success: From synthetic energy datasets to underutilised geospatial and public sector data, better access and validation of data are crucial for AI-driven sustainability solutions. Thank you to all of our speakers, including our Chief Partnerships Officer, Jessica R. who welcomed our guests. 🔎 Discover how we support a sustainable future: https://ow.ly/gWOe50VjI4x Professor Paul Monks CB | Phil Y. | Francisco Gómez Medina, PhD | James Jarvis | Sam Young | Cecilia N. | Lucy Yu | Laurence Oakes-Ash | Chris Baker | Department for Energy Security and Net Zero | The Alan Turing Institute | Energy Systems Catapult | Centre for Net Zero (Octopus Energy Group) | City Science | Rothamsted Research
