In her first party conference speech as Prime Minister, Theresa May declared it was “time to remember the good that government can do”. Setting out a new approach to the role of the state, she rightly acknowledged that Whitehall doesn’t have all the answers but should instead be a proactive “force for good”.
That’s certainly the right approach when it comes to helping Britain lead the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), as a new wave of technological breakthroughs is known. From advanced robotics, driverless cars and 3D printers to Amazon’s delivery drones, internet-connected household devices and nanotechnology, these innovations are transforming the way we live and work.
