We are the South West! How does the region stand up to the rest of the country (very well!), what innovations are happening here (more than we can say in a 200 word bio) and how do we make tech diverse (we have lots of ideas!) Presented by former broadcast journalists Robert Hillier and Feyaza Khan (who are also married) South West Tech Daily is a showcase of the region with insights, important things you need to know and just great chats with lovely people. Also, get in touch if you're a south west business that needs shouting about!
We are exploring the cutting-edge innovations driving the future of technology. Join Feyaza Khan and Robert Hillier who are speaking to student innovators from the University of Bristol who are gaining practical experience, while also helping local groups and businesses. Thanks to Daniela Lima Rodriguez for the edits!
Professor Simon Jackson from Molendotech in Bristol talks about the important water-testing technology that lets you check water quality right in the field, with results in just 15 minutes. In the past, testing water quality could take up to 48 hours and had to be done in a lab. The Bacterisk kit is super portable—it fits in a briefcase—so water utilities and other stakeholders can easily test water quality on the spot.

We're dropping some serious knowledge on this episode of the South West Tech Daily podcast. Shoutouts to Scott Preece and Brett Lambe for turning the usually boring (sorry!) IP and investment laws into a lively chat. These guys are the real MVPs, so it's no wonder they got the nod for Tech South West's Growth Forge program – which is helping South West businesses with mentorship to scale. Lucy Paine is on with us too, juggling more tech hats than you've seen on one person. She spills the tea on business development and is also a mentor at Growth Forge. And then there's Ben Cooper, the South West's go-to angel, putting out the call for more angels to join the squad because it's rewarding and you get tax benefits. If you reckon you've got what it takes, hit up Angel Investors Bristol: https://www.angelinvestorsbristol.co.uk/

This episode was supposed to be a Tech South West awards download, but turned into a self-help episode on how to get a more diverse range of people into tech.
