In our hyperconnected world, technology has transformed the way we communicate and interact with each other. From smartphones and social media to video calls and virtual reality, we rely on technology to connect with others, access information, and streamline our tasks. While technology and its evolution have undoubtedly brought many benefits, it has also led to concerns about the erosion of the human element in our interactions.

It's no secret that we're living in a hyperconnected world, where challenges can feel overwhelming as we huddle behind our screens. However, collaboration is the key that unlocks the door to enduring solutions, and we've witnessed this first-hand during the COVID-era. Global communities united to contain the spread, develop vaccines, and establish effective treatments. This joint effort played a crucial role in restoring a semblance of order amidst the chaos.

Over the past two decades of writing grant applications, I've experienced the transformation of government funding. When InnovateUK was still called the 'Technology Strategy Board,' many businesses were unaware of available grants, and some were hesitant, thinking that such non-repayable funding was too good to be true.

In a world where market disruption and system modernisation are the norm, grant-funded projects face the challenge of balancing compliance and innovation. On the one hand, strict regulations ensure ethical conduct and resource allocation, while on the other, innovation is essential for solving complex problems and driving progress.
