Data centres will be positioned as critical infrastructure in the UK, driving new zoning, grid upgrades, and industrial policy. The opportunity is less about a niche sector and more about reshaping energy, construction, and regional development.

Power, land, and planning will decide which regions attract investment and talent. People who can translate infrastructure constraints into business decisions will shape where the next decade of jobs and capital flow.

Optometry AI is expanding beyond eye health into systemic screening, linking retinal signals to cardiovascular risk and cancer detection. As imaging becomes a multi-disease diagnostic layer, optometry workflows will shift toward broader clinical decision support.

This reframes optometry from vision-only care to early detection and triage for major diseases. The winners will integrate imaging, AI validation, and referral pathways without slowing clinic throughput.

AI companionship is becoming a frontline support layer for dementia and Alzheimer’s care. It reduces isolation, improves engagement, and gives care teams more time for higher-touch interventions.

With caregiver shortages and rising dementia prevalence, scalable companionship tools are moving from pilot programs into standard care. Providers that integrate AI support without disrupting routines will see measurable outcomes.

As AI adoption accelerates in healthcare, clinical teams need dedicated workflow leads to redesign processes, prevent bottlenecks, and ensure AI tools actually improve patient care.

Without workflow redesign, AI adds friction instead of saving time. This role sits between clinicians, operations, and tech to translate tools into measurable outcomes and safer care delivery.

After HS2 cost overruns and stalled budget extensions, infrastructure delivery is shifting toward AI-led efficiency. Digital infrastructure project managers will own data-driven scheduling, risk control, and productivity gains across complex builds.

Capital discipline is tightening, so projects that fail to digitize planning and execution will be de-prioritized. This role blends construction delivery with AI-enabled reporting to keep approvals and funding on track.
