When it comes to the medical devices sector, the integration of AI is accelerating just like in many others. For example, according to Research and Markets the global artificial intelligence/machine learning medical device market was valued at $4.0 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $35.5 billion by 2032.The market expansion is driven by factors such as the presence of a large ecosystem of companies offering AI solutions, growing demand in the field of radiology and cardiology, growing demand for wearable sensors, and large number of government initiatives.

But what are the underlying trends and how might AI continue to impact the market further into the future? Today, I am delighted to welcome Aritia Ltd founding director Ian Watson.

In May 2025 I spoke at the Accountex 2025 event in London, an event that brings together accounting professionals, software and service suppliers with a CPD-accredited education programme. My topic was all about navigating the opportunities presented to the accounting profession by the metaverse as a platform for engaging with traditional clients and as an immersive place to conduct virtual business for virtual clients in a virtual space.

So building on my presentation, in this episode, I explore how the metaverse is set to reshape the accounting profession—from immersive client engagement in virtual offices to managing digital assets and compliance in virtual worlds.

According to Design Futurist and Social Entrepreneur Trisha Mehta, “Beverages are having an identity crisis. They’re no longer just liquids in bottles- they’re interfaces, systems, rituals, and occasionally, biotech experiments in disguise. Think lab-grown everything, AI-enhanced hydration, refill networks replacing retail, and psychoactive sips edging into wellness culture.”

With that as context, we are going to explore The Future of Beverages; the critical drivers of change, technological innovations, and the changing experience of consuming beverages.

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represent a balanced template with which we might collectively address the global challenge of creating a sustainable future by paying attention to the economic, environmental, and social enablers of change. But what skills could act as valuable enablers to achieving the goals?

In this episode of the podcast, Consultant, Analyst, Project Leader Paula dos Santos Papel and I will explore how the Inner Development Goals (IDGs) align with the UN SDGs. We will shed light on how these human skills and qualities differ from traditional leadership traits and their transformative potential in navigating an increasingly complex, uncertain world. We will explore how IDGs empower us to address existential risks while unlocking the immense possibilities of our shared future.

In the world of design, a spectrum of methodologies shapes how we build and move. From modernist minimalism to cutting-edge parametric design, each approach brings its own priorities—efficiency, aesthetics, or technology. Among these, two methodologies take their cues directly from nature: biophilic design and biomimicry. While they share a connection to the natural world, they couldn’t be more distinct in their purpose and application.

In today’s episode, Director of Vanessa Champion Media and Founding Editor of The Journal of Biophilic Design, Vanessa Champion and I will explore biophilic design—a practice that goes beyond just mimicking nature's mechanics to fostering a relationship between human beings and their environments.

ECOFASCISM: leviathan or lifejacket of humankind? is a multi-author book featuring 36 top futurist voices who have come together to explore of our climate future beyond purely climate, through the lens of Ecofascism.

The premise for all the stories in the book is this: The year is 2050. Temperatures have risen over +2ºC. Global population has reached 9.8 billion. Pressure on natural systems is at its peak. A new global movement has arisen; a totalitarian system has been enforced, based on the minimum climate footprint on every aspect of our society.

In this episode, we welcome futurist and UNESCO Chair in Futures Studies Sohail Inayatullah to talk about his chapter in the book in which he describes how the Gaia-based government takes over the planet and imposes fascist control. The environment improves, but questions remain!

In this episode, in collaboration with Sylvia Gallusser and Silicon Humanism, we are continuing our exploration of “The Future of Connected Entertainment Experiences” with Forward Studio Co-Founder & Chief Strategy Officer Rachel Noonan.

A quick reminder that our working definition of a "Connected Entertainment" refers to a new paradigm of interactive, personalized, and networked experiences across digital media. It represents a shift from passive consumption of content to dynamic engagement, where complimentary technologies collaborate to deliver more intelligent, adaptive, and connected entertainment.

In the last episode, we looked at definitions, current trends, and the near future for seamless contemporary connected entertainment experience. In this episode, we are exploring some scenarios and the potential implications for life, society, and business.
