Welcome to the nineteenth episode of Season 2 of Futurise.

Season 2 will focus in on AgenticAI, speaking to founders, funders and early adopters of the technology to share their insight and lessons learned.

In this episode, Rob is joined by Michael Herron, CEO of Atos UK&I. Michael joined Atos at the end of January 2025 and he talks with Rob about the recent investments from Atos to a Sovereign Orchestration Hub, a Digital Agentic Centre and a Sovereign Digital Enablement Centre, especially relevant in light of the recent UK Government commitments to AI Growth Zones. Rob and Michael also share a common passion in regard to the development of future careers in this space, and discuss how that might evolve in an Agentic powered world.
