'We invent it, others deploy it'
Oxa's CEO on building the UK's robotic future.
Happy Friday,
I'm off to the pub, not yet obvs, just a bit later today.
Data sovereignty, agentic AI, the future of cloud infrastructure — these are the defining questions of UK tech policy and they're taking centre stage at Civo Navigate in London on Tuesday September 22nd.
The event is returning to Convene, Bishopsgate, and brings together 800+ tech leaders and builders. The speaker line-up spans politics and industry — Julia Lopez MP, Lord Drayson, NVIDIA's UK director, and engineers from Google, GitLab and Qualcomm.
Tickets are normally £600, but readers of The Morning Intelligence can attend for just £25 using the code MI25 at checkout.
