"All of this is teamwork" - how 'industrial clusters' are accelerating the energy transition
• 45 mins
The transition to net-zero is a daunting challenge for any industry - but what if diverse sectors can help each other speed up progress? That's what can happen in an 'industrial cluster'. In the episode we hear from two such clusters - the Port of Antwerp-Bruges in Belgium and the Andalusia Green Hydrogen Valley in Spain - just two of the more than 35 industrial clusters around the world, supported by the World Economic Forum’s Transitioning Industrial Clusters (TIC) initiative, to drive economic growth, employment and cut greenhouse gas emissions. And we speak to the head of the Mission Possible Partnership - an organisation that works to advance the energy transition in industry which also puts a strong emphasis on industry clusters or ‘clean industrial hubs’.

Are we on track for the energy transition? Insights from three CEOs

Neurotechnology could help billions of people. Has its time come?
• 55 mins
Electronic devices that tap into a human’s nervous system have been around for decades to help, for example, paralysed people move and deaf people hear. Now, a new generation of neurotechnology promises to revolutionise treatments for a range of conditions that afflict billions of people. We look at the benefits and assess the risks with Jen French, a campaigner for access to neurotechnlolgy who has been using a device for 25 years since a snowboarding accident made her quadriplegic. And Tom Oxley, the CEO of neurotech startup Synchron, explains how 'brain computer interfaces' are giving paralysed patients the ability to use computers and smart phones. They also address concerns about things such as data privacy, unequal access to health tech, and device 'abandonment'.

The global economy is moving from experiencing "episodic shocks" to "a new operating regime, one that is defined now by persistent disruption." So says Wayne Best, chief economist at Visa, as he gives his take on the Chief Economists Outlook, the World Economic Forum's regular pulse check of the world economy and where it is headed.
