Organised yearly by the Institute of Materials & Mining (IOM3) and the Worshipful Company of Horners, the Design Innovation in Plastics competition brings together creative young minds to tackle some of the most pressing global issues.

Concerns about plastics impacting both the environment and our health are now firmly in the spotlight. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to the problem and the race is on to develop materials that will potentially, one day replace plastics.

The rise of technology that we have witnessed over the last few years has brought along a series of questions left to be answered either by ingenious designs or the voice (and artificial intelligence) of a smart speaker.

While the advantages gained by AI and Machine Learning integration are undeniably beneficial to humanity and a core evolution facilitator, introducing such powerful and impactful tech to society can easily spin around and become a colossal threat.

Techniques such as AI and Machine Learning are creating new opportunities for healthcare and changing the way that people interact with health services.

Evolving around the trending theme of sustainability, the dialogue at this year’s Decoded Future Summit in London brought together voices that echo within the tech, fashion and economy industries.
