They dig into: - How the PLC dumbed down the factory floor operator - Why creativity needs to be democratised beyond the R&D lab - Why hard technology has finally become a serious investable asset class - The skills gap threatening Western industrial resurgence - Why the UK keeps building world-class companies and then losing them - How adventure lies on the other side of yes Drew leads Grace Technologies, an electrical safety and predictive maintenance company operating across 60 countries, sits on the advisory board of Atom Power Inc., and hosts his own podcast, The Factory Futurist.
