Biztech is pleased to welcome Dr Ed Braund to its Advisory Board. With deep experience in digital transformation and emerging technologies, Dr Braund’s appointment strengthens Biztech’s mission to support innovation, collaboration, and technology‑led growth across the region.
The Robotics Industry Showcase 2026 brought cutting‑edge robotics, automation, and AI to life in Milton Keynes. From live demos to meaningful industry conversations, the event highlighted how real‑world innovation is already transforming sectors across the UK — and why collaboration is key to shaping the future of robotics.
As the world anticipates the arrival of 6G, a quiet revolution is already reshaping mobile connectivity. The introduction of 5G Non‑Terrestrial Networks (5G NTN) is blending satellite and terrestrial systems for the first time, ensuring coverage continues where traditional mobile networks stop. Early services are modest—mostly messaging and basic data—but the shift is profound. Direct‑to‑device satellite links mean that even in remote areas, at sea, or during outages, everyday smartphones can still stay connected.
This early integration lays the foundation for 6G, which aims to merge ground and space networks into one seamless system. Rather than relying on satellites as a backup, 6G will make them a native part of the mobile experience. For most people, the change won’t feel like a leap in speed—it will feel like mobile coverage finally becoming dependable everywhere.
