I was delighted to join Ada Mode on their latest AI in Industry podcast to talk about the Solent’s world‑leading maritime sector - its strengths, its future, and why this region continues to punch far above its weight in innovation, skills and sustainable growth. 🎙️ Watch the episode here: https://lnkd.in/e2Q5YX9p We covered a lot of ground, including: ➡️The Solent’s unique concentration of maritime assets and expertise ➡️How innovation in autonomy, clean maritime and advanced manufacturing is reshaping the sector ➡️The importance of collaboration across industry, academia and government ➡️Why the Solent is central to the UK’s maritime competitiveness A huge thank you to Damian Bemben, Robbie O'Neill, Jack Lewis and the team at Ada Mode team for the invitation - and for shining a spotlight on the role of maritime in driving regional and national prosperity. If you’re interested in the future of maritime, AI, or the Solent’s economic strengths, it’s well worth a listen.
