If you are attending come and meet the team after watching the session:
Speaking session – ‘Building a digital twin to accelerate the design and development of an electromechanical autoinjector’
Session date and time: 10:00am – Day 2 – 3rd June
Presentation session overview:
Developing an electromechanical autoinjector is a complex, time consuming, and expensive process which presents unique challenges in ensuring performance, reliability, and patient safety. We present a method for creating a digital twin prototype of a novel electromechanical autoinjector which can accelerate the development process through a simulation-led design approach. Our twin allows in silico exploration of performance across a range of product configurations and operating conditions within a virtual use environment which includes human tissue models. This enables specification and optimisation of the system without the need for extensive lab testing, reducing development time, cost, and risk compared to a traditional approach.​

Join Simon Karger on a panel discussion during breakout on how AI is rapidly progressing on protein engineering and where we are heading to in the near future.
Assessing Progress in AI for Protein Engineering: Where Are We Now, and Where Are We Going?
May 6, 2025 – 3:30 – 4:15 pm
Protein engineering is the most active frontier for AI in biotech. We are seeing the emergence of models that can make “zero shot” predictions of antibodies, and new variants of enzymes that would take millions of years for Evolution to produce. How should we be evaluating these models and their designs? What can we expect from the field of AI protein design moving forward?
Join Cassandra Padbury, Associate Director at Cambridge Consultants, part of Capgemini, on a panel discussion that will focus on tangible actions to accelerate this transition and realize the full economic promise of the bioeconomy.
Making It Happen: Accelerating the Global Bioeconomy
May 7, 2025 – 4:30 – 5:15 pm
This panel will bring together leaders across industry, public sector and the community to examine the systemic barriers slowing the bioeconomy’s growth and ask, “What best practices are we seeing to unlock progress?” Despite breakthroughs in synbio—including recent our findings showing 96% of businesses are advancing biosolutions—progress remains stalled by discovery costs, scaling challenges, regulatory uncertainty, and investment bottlenecks. Join this session to understand how these challenges are being overcome to ensure synbio moves from future predictions to large-scale impact.

CWIC 2025
2025-03-27 09:00 - 18:30 (Europe/London) | Hinxton Hall, Hinxton Hall Conference Centre, Wellcome Genome Campus, Hinxton, CB10 1RQ, United Kingdom
Now in its sixteenth year, the CW International Conference 2025 will delve into the theme of Resilience with a strong focus on the technological aspects: exploring the resilience of business processes; strategic risk management; the robustness of underlying technologies, and the impact of technology failure. The event will examine how emerging technologies, and digital infrastructure can recover from disruptions and build safeguards for the future. Key factors driving the need for resilience will be explored, including geopolitical tensions, climate change, and the increasing interconnectedness and complexity of critical industries.
Join us at the event as Bob Oates chairs a session around Cyber Security:
Cyber Security
12.10pm – 1.10pm, 27 March 2025 ‐ 1 hour
Room: Francis Crick Auditorium
Breakout 1
Speakers:
Josie Houghton, Cyber Security Lead, Rolls-Royce SMR
Professor John A McDermid OBE, Lloyds Register Foundation Chair of Safety, Director Centre for Assuring Autonomy, University of York
Cyber security incidents can have impacts that harm the viability of an organisation, either directly through financial losses or indirectly through the loss of trust and reputational damage that comes with being known as an organisation that provides technology or services with inadequate defences. In critical industries, the rise of digitisation means that the potential impacts now include the loss of financial stability of an entire country, physical harm to the general public, or damage to the wider environment.
The modern organisation needs to adapt to new technologies, such as AI and quantum computers, that bring new threats, and actively innovate within the context of doing business in an increasingly hostile cyberspace. All this has to be achieved while ensuring that cyber security investment does not become a financial black hole.
With the stakes so high and at least partial failure feeling like an inevitability, join us as we explore how modern organisations develop the culture, technologies and processes to move beyond brittle ways of working and towards being resilient in the face of cyber-attacks.

How can we design critical systems to be less vulnerable to attack?
How do we keep essential services going in the presence of on-going attacks?
How do we recover from incidents and rebuild ever more resilient systems that deliver the critical services that society needs to function?

IEEE Military Communications Conference (MILCOM) 2024
2024-10-28 - 2024-11-01 | Washington Hilton, 1919 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington DC, 20009, United States
Now in its 44th year, MILCOM has been the preeminent forum bringing together thought leaders in government, industry, and academia to discuss the innovative research and cutting-edge technologies that are shaping the future of military communications.
Cambridge Consultants’ Taylor Pearlman, Next-Generation Networks Lead, will be moderating a panel session focused on ‘Autonomous networks for the next generation of military connectivity.’
Driven by advances in AI technology, autonomous and AI-driven networks are poised to offer a new paradigm of connectivity for the D.O.D. These offer fundamentally new capabilities to military networks, including the potential to dynamically adapt networks to a changing battlefield, automatically detect and mitigate threats and attacks, and seamlessly route connectivity to warfighters in the most difficult, adverse environments. Autonomous networks that offer more flexibility, resiliency, and adaptability allow the D.O.D. to effortlessly maintain situational awareness and reliable communications in combat environments and improve on-base wireless performance.
Conversely, these networks demand a new paradigm in cybersecurity to ensure secure operation. Autonomous and AI-driven networks open an entirely new attack surface to nation-state actors that will require a new series of tools, tactics, and strategies to secure and maintain.
This panel will address the potential and the complications of autonomous networks for military use, including the key questions:

What do highly autonomous networks look like in a D.O.D. context (both on-base and on-battlefield, and what value would they bring?
What aspects of autonomous networks can be leveraged from the telecoms industry, and what cannot (or shouldn’t)?
How can such networks be secured from sophisticated, peer-peer adversaries?
What actions should the DoD, integrator, and research community do now to pave the way for military adoption of AI-enabled networking?

Panelists include:

Ayodele Damola, Director of AI/ML Strategy, Ericsson
Gustave Anderson, Associate Fellow, Lockheed Martin
Bishal Thapa, Research Leader, RTX
Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin Pimentel, Communications Officer and Electronics Engineer, Marine Corps

From Lab to Life: Realising the Potential of Affective Computing
Machine capabilities are on the rise. New advances in AI and Robotics have enabled the creation of ever more competent artificial systems that have the potential to contribute to various types of human activities. However, for this potential to result in a step-change in how humans and machines interact and work with each other, machines also need to be competent at understanding their human counterparts. How can task-competent machines become competent teammates, assistants, and companions for human users? How can technology make sense of human behaviour, responses, and experiences?
