The UK risks falling behind due to the chronic inability of its capital markets to scale companies. To become the go-to public exchange for scaling tech companies in Europe, our paper with Onward calls for London’s AIM market to be replaced with a rapid route to the LSE for high-growth firms: https://lnkd.in/eMPzQy_h #UK #FutureofBritain #investment #capitalmarkets #technology #science #innovation #development #business

Malawi is facing repeated challenges from extreme weather events. In March 2024, a state of disaster was declared in 23 of Malawi’s 28 districts, with drought in the south and flooding in the north severely affecting agricultural production. As Malawi is heavily reliant on seasonal rain-fed farming, the country is increasingly vulnerable to erratic weather patterns bringing unpredictable rainfall, prolonged droughts and intense floods. Irrigation is seen as a leading solution to the challenges posed by climate change to Malawi's agricultural sector, which supports the livelihoods of 80% of the population. TBI is proud to have been supporting the Government of Malawi introduce irrigation schemes – paving the way for a more resilient agricultural sector, enhancing food security and fostering sustainable growth.

I'm excited to share that yesterday, Hon'ble Chief Minister of Uttarakhand Shri Pushkar Singh Dhami launched a nine-point strategy to balance ecology and economy in the state. This visionary strategy was developed in collaboration with several government departments by the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change. Under the guidance of CM Dhami, the strategy focuses on: 1. Community empowerment - reviving traditional practices - encouraging behavior change for sustainable consumption - upskilling youth for future readiness 2. Emerging technology deployment - promoting green technologies - real-time monitoring solutions - adopting a circular economy approach 3. Enabling green financing - incentivizing transparency - participating in carbon credit initiatives - developing bridge funding mechanisms This initiative is a significant step towards fulfilling Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of a #viksitbharat. It's been a pleasure to work alongside Dr. Manoj Kumar Pant and dedicated teams who have made this possible. Looking forward to seeing the positive impact this strategy will have on Uttarakhand's sustainable development journey. #Uttarakhand #Sustainability #Ecology #Economy #Innovation #TonyBlairInstitute #OnLeadership

Quite the thought provoking chat with Sandy Kunvatanagarn from OpenAI at the Tech Week Singapore mainstage yesterday. Key themes: ◾ The rise of Asia Pacific as a dynamic region for AI development, and Singapore as a hub leading the way - which was immediately exemplified with OpenAI’s announcement to launch a new Singapore office as their regional hub on stage with me that very day ◾ The importance of good political leadership and regional collaboration for regulations that ensure safety but continue to enable and encourage innovation (think narrow or frontier-AI bills) ◾ AI for the benefit of all humanity, and the integration of AI into the public services to the benefit of citizens and the public good All themes right up our alley here at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change; reach out to learn more about how we work with political leaders to harness emerging technology for sustainable development. Very excited to watch this space continue to grow in Singapore!

Today, the UK trails behind other G7 countries in #robotics, but our #AI expertise offers a unique opportunity to catch up and lead. With the right investment and regulatory frameworks, we can drive economic growth and boost productivity, while creating new jobs. Robotics holds the power to transform industries and enhance public infrastructure, unlocking AI's true potential in the physical world. Our latest paper from TBI and William Hague, with Jakob Mökander, Benedict Macon-Cooney, Dr Roeland P.-J. E. Decorte and Luke Stanley, shares the immediate ways to strengthen the UK robotics ecosystem, and the opportunities at stake.

Mind the 🤖! Delighted to announce I co-authored the below paper from the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change alongside Tony Blair, William Hague, Luke Stanley, Jakob Mökander and Benedict Macon-Cooney, on Embodied #AI and #Robotics. #FutureofBritain 👉 As one of the points particularly close to my heart, we address the #UK's relative lack of #early- and mid-stage #patient #capital. We believe some of the funding provided by #UKRI, including for #early stage #ventures, has been ineffectively spent. We suggest the creation of a new £100M co-#investing programme through British Patient Capital. Instead of gov picking individual ventures to support, this new programme would co-invest and follow alongside private #VCs in early- and mid-stage #deep and #hardtech #startups such as #hardware, #robotics, embodied and complex #AI. Long-term returns from these #investments could then also support and return value to the nation. This, I believe, could help close the current significant early stage #funding #gap in the UK for those domains. 👉 We further suggest the use of a targeted #Contracts for #Innovation programme to help #public bodies fund solutions, and #Advanced #Market #Commitments (#AMC) to pull through emerging capabilities in robotics and embodied AI. This should help address needs in the public sector and simultaneously support ventures by streamlining their go-to-market. 👉 We also feel regulators, where new uses of AI, embodied AI, hardware and robotics are assessed, need to be financially supported and bring in experts in these domains (to prevent common issues in assessment from arising), in line with suggestions from Prof Dame Angela McLean. Overall, the report 'A New #National #Purpose: the #UK's opportunity to lead on next wave robotics' sets out how the UK can catch up to other G7 countries in these crucial industries.

New paper alert! In a New National Purpose report, Tony Blair and William Hague outline policy recommendations to strengthen the UK's ecosystem for robotics research and innovation. Robotics (or embodied AI) constitutes the next wave in AI development. While LLMs and GenAI are powerful tools, AI systems that can operate in the real world and learn from dynamic environments (from self-driving cars and delivery drones to precision manufacturing) hold great promise to accelerate economic growth and improve social outcomes. Unlocking this potential will require increased funding and incentives for innovation, investment in enabling digital infrastructure and responsible development practices, as well as effective, proportionate regulation. Read the full report here: https://bit.ly/3XXV164 The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change report was co-authored by Benedict Macon-Cooney, Luke Stanley, and Dr Roeland P.-J. E. Decorte. Many thanks to all experts from industry and academia who have provided valuable input and feedback throughout the process, including: Paul Clarke, Botty Dimanov, PhD, Eliot Dixon, Sarah Gates, Alec Jackson, Lars Kunze, David Lane, Stewart Miller, Alex Pejacsevich, and Nicholas Swanson.
