This March, the industry will gather at the Cutty Sark in Greenwich, London, for the inaugural Engineering Matters Awards. Over two weeks of episodes, we’ll be introducing all of the shortlisted entries.

The Awards will demonstrate why engineering matters. We’ll be sharing some exciting innovations. And we will be looking at a range of ways engineers and those in related fields can have a wider impact on the world. 

This episode is the first of three focussing on shortlisted entries in the Innovation category. We’ll learn about a new solid state approach to the design of power bricks and circuit breakers. We’ll find out how a new global flood map will help boost resilience in tidal communities around the world. And we’ll discover how a new way of subsea drilling will offer the pace needed to meet Net Zero goals.
