Speaking and media
I speak about emerging technologies from the perspective of somebody who has built companies, commercialised technologies and dealt with the realities of deployment.
What I Bring to an Audience
I regularly speak at conferences, investor events and leadership forums on hydrogen, technology commercialisation, robotics, advanced materials, energy transition and industrial innovation.
I make technically complex subjects useful to decision-makers. I focus on the economics, deployment barriers, commercial evidence and strategic consequences, rather than repeating sector narratives.
Topics I Speak About
Hydrogen & Energy Transition
I explain where hydrogen creates value, why infrastructure sequencing matters and how operating reality changes the answer. Explore my Hydrogen analysis.
Technology Commercialisation
I show why technically successful innovations fail to become dependable, investable businesses, and what leaders can do about it. Explore my commercialisation framework.
Graphene, Nanotechnology & Advanced Materials
I draw on years spent separating remarkable material properties from useful applications, customers and manufacturable products. Explore my Nanotechnology Archive.
Robotics & Industrial Innovation
I examine why physical AI depends on sensing, dexterity, reliability and a measurable operational return. Explore my Robotics & Physical AI analysis.
Water Technologies
I connect advanced-material capability to industrial needs, integration constraints and adoption economics.
Space & Frontier Technologies
I use lessons from semiconductors and materials reliability in space to explain the commercialisation of frontier technologies.

Speaking and media enquiries
Bring commercial reality into the conversation
Tell me about the audience, format, topic, deadline and the decision or question you want the session to inform.
Frequently asked questions
What formats do I offer?
I speak at keynotes, panels and fireside conversations, and I provide executive briefings, private leadership sessions, webinars, broadcast interviews and background media briefings.
Can I tailor a session to a specific audience?
Yes. I connect the wider commercialisation picture to the audience’s technology, market, investment or policy decisions.
Am I available for media comment at short notice?
Potentially, subject to availability and topic. Include the deadline, format and specific question in your enquiry.
