Momenta Edge Podcast Turns 25!

Posted by
Ed Maguire

In the lead-up to our 26th podcast, airing on Wednesday September 12th, we'd like to take some time to reflect and detail our journey in creating Momenta Edge Podcast.

At Momenta we're privileged to have access to some of the greatest thinkers, innovators and practitioners in the Connected Industry. From founders on their first startup, those conducting critical research and people impacting governments and nation states. In addition to those that were directly involved in the creation of IoT in the early days - we not only hear their stories but share them with the Momenta community.

While we are heavily invested in the medium of writing, our conversational style podcast offers the opportunity for participants to share personal histories and stories more easily, in their own words.

Our speakers cover topics as diverse as AR, solar energy, people trafficking, the future of automation, data security and in the end offer interesting insights into our world. We don't only talk to engineers but our guests include an anthropologist, futurists, writers and academics.

These include:

Futurist and author Vivek Wadhwa declaring "With the rise of exponential technologies, we can literally solve the grand challenges of humanity – such as free sustainable energy, housing and food supply”.

Guido Jouret's assertion: "We’re witnessing a shift in the pendulum of innovation, we can use a lot of the consumer lead innovations but adapt them for our industrial customer base”.

The journey through our first 25 podcasts have explored topics and conversations that are pushing the boundary and discussing the future of digital transformation in the Connected Industry. As we prepare next week's podcast, here's an opportunity to check out some previous episodes that you might have missed.
