75 years ago, the Festival of Britain brought design, science, and technology to the public as a celebration of the country's future.

In 2026, Britain needs another future-facing moment: one built around frontier science, hard technology and the people turning it into companies.

Three weeks ago we brought the sci-fi future to Brick Lane. Robots, Rockets, Materials, Biotech - the builders of the future and the hardware creating it.

Did you miss it!?

The good news is we’re uploading the talks for you all to enjoy.

The even better news is we’re doing it bigger and better next year!

Excited to announce Amine Raji, Co-founder and CEO of Spore.Bio, for The Biological Interface pillar!

Why do factories still check for contamination with a tool from the 1880s?

Before a product ships, samples are grown in a petri dish to see if anything appears, and that takes days. Spore Bio's machine shines light on a sample and uses AI to find and identify the germs in 10 minutes, with nothing to grow. Its research team is now pointing the same technology at superbugs, the bacteria antibiotics can no longer kill.

Google's philanthropic arm picked Spore Bio as one of 12 recipients of its $20M AI for Science fund in January, and the company has contracts covering 200 factories.

Excited to announce Katie King (@KKingSpace), Co-founder and CEO of BioOrbit, for The Final Frontier pillar!

BioOrbit is building the world's first pharmaceutical factory in orbit.

Without gravity, biologic drugs crystallise properly, and those crystals carry far more of the drug in the same volume, survive without constant refrigeration, and release slowly enough that patients need treating less often. Cancer care is one of the fields it opens up.

Its first factory, Box-E, spent six weeks on the International Space Station this summer, and millions of crystals it grew there are back on Earth for testing.

Excited to announce James Spall, Co-founder and CTO of Lumai, for The Next Computer pillar!

What if AI got more energy-efficient the bigger it got?

Today's AI chips work the other way, with every jump in power costing even more electricity. Lumai does AI's heaviest maths with millions of beams of light instead.

In its design, bigger systems run more efficiently, and the company says it can run AI at least 50 times faster on a tenth of the power.

In April, its Iris server became the first optical computer to run a large AI language model in real time, and customers are now testing it.

At DeepTech Week London, James goes up against the other founders racing to build the next computer.
