Realities Remixed

China is reshaping the global technology and manufacturing landscape through rapid innovation, AI adoption and industrial scale, but understanding modern China requires understanding the unique cultural and business philosophies that drive its approach to growth and change.
This week, Dave and Rob are joined by Eric Nie, co-founder of Seraph Global and creator of the popular "Eric Cracks China" channel, to explore the realities of modern China. From cultural differences between East and West, open-source innovation, to manufacturing excellence, robotics and the future of global supply chains, Eric provides a fascinating insider's perspective on one of the world's most influential economies.

'Realities Remixed' is an original podcast from Capgemini

In the second episode of the special Resilience Sessions, recorded at the Resilience World Nexus Summit in London, we explore why resilience is moving beyond risk management to become a strategic business priority. Globalisation, technology and interconnected supply chains have delivered enormous efficiency and growth, but they have also created new dependencies and vulnerabilities.
Dave and Rob are joined by Dr. Abhilash Panda, Deputy Chief, Interagency Cooperation and Partnerships Branch at United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction to explore why resilience is no longer simply about recovering from disruption. It is about building organisations that can adapt, survive and create value in an increasingly unpredictable world.

'Realities Remixed' is an original podcast from Capgemini

The internet was built for humans. Search engines, websites and online business models were all designed around people reading pages, clicking links and consuming information. But what happens when AI agents become the primary users of the web and governance of the internet will need to evolve from human-speed interactions to machine-speed ecosystems
This week, Dave and Rob are joined by Antonio Mallia, Founder & CEO at Seltz to explore the rise of generative search, AI agents and the rapid transformation of the internet itself and how traditional search engines are being replaced by AI-powered systems.
