  • Can green hydrogen clean up heavy industry?
    2022/11/23

    For decades, hydrogen has been hailed as a critical fuel of the future—a cleaner alternative to the fossil fuels which power heavy industry, our transport and our homes.

    Cheaper renewable energy has begun to make “green” hydrogen production more competitive, and innovative ways to use the fuel are emerging too. So is the latest hype around hydrogen justified? What role will it play in powering our clean-energy future? Who will make it, how and for what?

    We explore what is to come with green hydrogen entrepreneur Raffi Garabedian, industry analyst Meredith Annex from BloombergNEF and Martin Pei, chief technical officer at steelmaker SSAB.


    This episode is supported by Pictet Wealth Management and includes additional commentary from César Pérez Ruiz, CIO and head of investments at Pictet.

  • How brain computer interfaces could change humanity
    2022/11/22

    The ability to control machines with just our minds is the well-worn stuff of science fiction. But science and engineering advances in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have rapidly brought these fantastical ideas into the realm of science fact, with remarkable implications—allowing, for instance, paralysed patients to regain control of their limbs and communicate just by thinking. In this week's episode, we ask whether we’re at a turning point for BCIs, explore what the next decade looks like for medical and consumer applications, and how we can responsibly shape the technology’s development. Featuring Ian Burkhart, BCI pioneer, Florian Solzbacher, co-founder of Blackrock Neurotech, Rajesh Rao, professor of computer science at the University of Washington, and Nicholas Opie, founder of Synchron.

    This episode is sponsored by Pictet Wealth Management and includes additional commentary from Adrien Brossard, senior healthcare analyst.

  • Internet everywhere
    2022/11/01

    Some 3.5 billion people lack access to reliable, high-quality connectivity. But the race to connect the entire planet to the internet is gathering pace. Tech titans are backing megaconstellations of low-orbit satellites to envelop the earth's surface, and several enormous, continent-spanning undersea internet cables promise a big boost to African and Asian connectivity over the next year. Are these efforts enough to ensure universal and access to all? We explore with Teddy Woodhouse from the Alliance for Affordable Internet, Peter Micek from Access Now, Lourdes Montenegro of The World Benchmarking Alliance and Isfandiyar Shaheen, founder of Net Equity.

    This episode is supported by Pictet Wealth Management and includes additional commentary from Christopher Seilern, financial analyst at Pictet.
