The ten projects are the result of collaborations across science, technology, engineering, arts, and maths, bringing new ideas for our shared futures, from the transformation of a decommissioned off-shore rig to a magical pop-up garden in the centre of Birmingham, and from storytelling through ground-breaking multimedia technologies, to Wales propelled thirty years into the future.
