197 in 100,000 people have cancer on average according to the World Cancer Research Fund. We must fight together to bring down these numbers. That's why research and practice in precision medicine, targeted therapies, genetics, nanotechnology and artificial intelligence are so important! #WorldCancerDay #future #letsfightcancer #business #nanotechnology #cancer #design #innovation #digitalhealth …see more

Few days go by where I’m not frustrated that in a world where we consume media via social feeds, and where our attention, clicks and therefore outrage is what funds media, that we get an entirely distorted sense of reality. The world isn’t fair, the world is far from perfect, but year upon year we’ve been massaged into thinking everything is worse than ever. Every news story presented in extreme ways to stoke panic and point blame. I long for media we pay for, with a long term obligation to provide us with facts, not opinions, balance not persuasion, information not emotion. It’s all getting totally nuts and frenzied …see more

Given how many kids are falling behind at school. I wish there was a concerted effort to round up older laptops we may have in drawers, and a large mobile operator to offer 4G hotspots for kids who lack these basics to learn. If there are any initiatives like this I’ve got a MacBook Air to give and I’d love to promote such a cause Would be a great idea for a supermarket or a company like Argos / Staples to get behind as physical donation centers. Stuff your “ were here for you” TV ads. How about doing something Maybe Ronan Dunne at Verizon can help or Chris Gough at Samsung …see more

Last week I invited responses to the Twitter poll, ' Keeping funding aside, what is the biggest reason behind the success of #startups ?' 66% voted for Team/ Execution and 17% voted for the Timing of the idea launch. This TedTalk video mentions that it is not only important to have a great team which executes the idea, but the idea itself should not be ahead or behind its time. An example from the #Indian startup ecosystem is Myntra. Prior to foraying into fashion, Myntra was a platform for personalised merchandise. While the team and execution were fantastic, the concept of personalised merchandise in India, was ahead of its time. After pivoting to online fashion segment, the same team contributed to tremendous success and growth. What are your views on the topic? https://lnkd.in/fZn6Uga …see more

Recently I had the opportunity to address a #BritishChamber #DIT #virginatlantic event with South African and UK leaders talking about #Africa Rising, #innovation and #collaboration in Africa, and finding #purpose in everything we do. Born into our current context, we are surrounded by both challenges and opportunities. Combining this burning platform and the potential ideas on how to solve them with funding, coaching and incubation support from business and government goes a long way to helping us overcome these challenges and realize our greater potential! #innovation #africa #dit #purpose Emma Wade-Smith OBE John L Wade-Smith …see more
