Hello, and welcome to the second series of the Catapult Network Supercharging Innovation podcast. I'm Katherine Bennett, CEO of the high value manufacturing catapult and this year's chair of the catapult network. In this series, we will be discussing the most pressing innovation topics at the tip of the nation's tongue. You'll hear from expert colleagues across all 9 catapults and an array of very special guests, including industrialists, academics, politicians, and thought leaders. We'll be exploring how the UK must break down barriers to solve and global challenges and how this can be realized through the power of science, innovation, and technology.
Katherine Bennett:What is the human cost of AI? Can we build health resilience in a post pandemic world? How will achieving net zero affect our lives? Do innovation clusters regenerate local places? Is it too late to close the emerging skills gap?
Katherine Bennett:The answers to these questions will influence how we build our nation's resilience, protect our climate, boost our economy, and improve our lives.
