Is Your Business Really Ready to Scale AI?

AI maturity is easy to overestimate. When everything is new, it’s easy to think that you are further along than you actually are.

Strengthening our national infrastructure in an evolving threat landscape

The UK's Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) is facing its most significant cyber security shift in decades, driven by a rapidly evolving threat landscape and a new wave of regulation.

When protecting sensitive data makes it useless – and how to stop that happening

The dilemma is one that many organisations will recognise: the need for realistic data in non-production environments such as software development, testing, AI, and analytics, versus the need to protect real sensitive…

Your incident response plan isn’t proof you can recover

Terry Hancock, Head of Cyber Resilience at Axiologik, explains why businesses need to prepare for cyber attacks getting through, not just focus on keeping them out.

Data residency isn’t the same as data sovereignty

Keeping data within national borders can meet an important requirement, but it does not, on its own, establish who can access that data, how it is protected, or whether it can be moved when circumstances change.

Data is nothing without insights

Whether it’s coming from smart factories or digitally-connected supply chains, data is more accessible than ever before for asset-intensive organisations. A Modern Industrial Strategy is more than just a data revolution.

Your Best Technical Content Is Hidden Where Search Cannot Find It

I must’ve audited close to a hundred sites over the last 20 years, and I always come across the same issues. Landing pages that fail to do their job of giving the reader enough of a reason to buy.

Britain’s next energy asset class could sit hundreds of metres below ground

Britain should develop suitable salt caverns alongside credible hydrogen customers. The opportunity reaches engineering, monitoring and software, but geological potential alone cannot establish a commercial asset.

Clean steel will make software a production decision

Sweden’s HYBRIT programme reveals a practical software opportunity in industrial decarbonisation. British firms should focus on reliable scheduling and integration, with savings tested against real operating constraints.

Hydrogen’s hidden software market is worth Britain’s attention

Germany’s hydrogen network could create software work around conversion schedules, asset records and customer commitments. British suppliers should prove a narrow operational need before betting on a large new market.

Hydrogen’s future depends on storage becoming a business priority

Hydrogen production capacity cannot guarantee dependable supply. The Dutch HyStock commitment offers British businesses a practical lesson in storage, infrastructure timing and who carries the risk.

Green steel is becoming an energy technology business

Green steel makes electricity procurement and hydrogen storage part of the industrial investment case. Sweden’s HYBRIT offers practical lessons for British technology firms, engineers and steel buyers.

Long-duration storage could connect offshore wind with British industry

Britain should test hydrogen storage as a service built around dependable industrial supply. The Dutch HyStock commitment shows why production, pipelines, customers and storage need to develop together.

Some of Britain’s future energy network may already be buried underground

Germany plans to build much of its hydrogen network from existing gas pipelines. Britain should investigate the same opportunity, while making every conversion answer to engineering evidence, supply commitments and real customers.

The British farm of the future may need a network engineer as much as a mechanic

Connected machinery needs someone to maintain its digital dependencies. South Korea’s agricultural investment points towards a British opportunity in integration and support, provided the economics work for the farm.

The next premium industrial site may advertise molecules as well as megawatts

Germany’s hydrogen network could change what makes an industrial site valuable. British buyers should assess usable capacity, supply and connection costs before paying for proximity to a pipeline.

Britain’s businesses should keep control as the grid reaches inside

Connected chargers and batteries bring external energy signals inside business premises. British buyers should insist on operating limits, demonstrable provider switching and a business case that survives uncertain flexibility income.

British buyers should treat workplace robots as machinery

British companies should buy workplace robots around tested tasks, operating limits and accountable support. China’s standards work strengthens the case for treating deployment as an operational investment.

Energy suppliers should earn a software role with British fleets

Energy retailers are moving into charging automation, payments and fleet administration. British businesses should assess them as software partners, with vehicle readiness and the freedom to switch written into the deal.

Flying taxis need a power strategy before a route map

British companies should assess flying taxis through charging requirements, site capacity and operating costs. Dubai's plans and UK demonstrator projects point towards work that can begin before passenger demand is proven.
