Supercharging the digital economy podcast

This month’s podcast comes to you from techUK’s Supercharging the Digital Economy flagship event in Manchester. During the show, Matthew Evans, associate director at techUK catches up with Liliana Danila, Economist at the British Retail Consortium to go through why technology is impacting high street stores and online shopping experiences. They look at what must be done to help both aspects of retail and ensure that retail continues to be a driving force throughout our economy.

He then catches up with our very own, Jessica Russell, programme manager for transport and smart cities, to discuss techUK’s new report, Future Mobility Services in the UK. The report sets out a vision for the future of transport and mobility in the UK: a truly multimodal, digitally-enabled, customer-focused ecosystem, incorporating fixed and flexible infrastructure, private and publicly operated services and a multitude of vehicles, some of which are beyond what we can imagine today
