The next technology era will not be defined by software alone. It will be engineered through advances in computing, semiconductors, photonics, intelligent machines, biology, energy, materials, security and space. The decisive question is no longer only what can be invented. It is what can be commercialised, manufactured, adopted and scaled into globally competitive companies and industries.
