Space, the next business frontier?
Space has inspired imagination and innovation for ages. Today, that same curiosity is driving a new wave of industry. In this episode of Take on Tomorrow, we explore how momentum is building within the space economy—and what it takes to turn moon-shot ideas into real-world impact. We speak with Josh Western, CEO and co-founder of Space Forge, a company using the unique conditions of orbit to manufacture advanced materials. He explains why making things in space could unlock possibilities that simply aren’t achievable on Earth. Gabriele Capomasi, a Strategy& Partner with PwC Italy, zooms out to explore the bigger shift underway. From the growing investment in space infrastructure and manufacturing to rising geopolitical and security needs, new forces are accelerating the development of the space economy. And businesses may be more connected to that economy than they realise. Space technology already underpins critical systems on Earth—including navigation, communications, financial transactions, agriculture, and emergency response. As new industries and players enter the sector, those connections are only growing. So what happens when space shifts from frontier to foundation? Which ideas will truly take off?

How can business help us take charge of our health?
Most people only think about healthcare when something goes wrong. But wearables, AI, and other new technologies are giving us access to more information about our bodies and delivering it more frequently than ever before — putting more control over our health in our own hands.In this episode of Take on Tomorrow we explore the momentum behind a people-powered health system. And we consider what happens as technology moves healthcare beyond the clinic and into our everyday lives.Dorothy Kilroy, Chief Commercial Officer at Oura, shares how the company built a business model around a new category of wearable technology, and why providing a better understanding of personal health could change the way people interact with the wider healthcare system.PwC's Global Health Industries Leader, Anthony Bruce, looks at some broader shifts taking place: how evolving consumer expectations and new technologies are reshaping healthcare, why businesses well outside the health industry have a role to play, and what it will take to turn innovation into better, more accessible care.Take on Tomorrow is brought to you by PwC.

Are AI agents changing the rules of business?
AI is entering a new phase. Instead of simply answering questions or generating content, AI agents can now act: planning, reasoning, collaborating, and completing tasks alongside people. But as agents’ capabilities accelerate, are businesses thinking big enough? In this episode of Take on Tomorrow we explore what it takes to build momentum around agentic AI, from employees’ first experiments with new tools to a fundamental rethinking of how work gets done. Rob Seaman, General Manager of Slack at Salesforce, tells us how AI agents are already changing the way teams collaborate, innovate, and turn ideas into reality and why the biggest opportunity may be helping people achieve things that would otherwise feel out of reach. And PwC’s Global Chief AI Officer, Joe Atkinson, looks at what it takes to turn momentum into real value, and why the organisations seeing the greatest returns aren’t simply automating existing processes, they’re redesigning how their businesses work. As AI agents become a part of everyday business, we ask: How far can they expand what’s possible? And are organisations ready to find out?Take on Tomorrow is brought to you by PwC.

Is your business built to survive?
Every business plans for growth. But how many are built to survive? Disruption today is increasingly interconnected. Crises such as cyberattacks, geopolitical shocks, and supply chain failures rarely arrive one at a time—and all are heightened by AI risk. So, if your business lost everything tomorrow, what would it need to continue to operate? And how can you maintain momentum when disruption strikes? In this episode of Take on Tomorrow, we talk with PwC UK partner Bobbie Ramsden-Knowles, who co-leads PwC’s Global Centre for Crisis and Resilience. She explains why organisations need to identify their ‘minimum viable company’—the people, systems, and services that absolutely must keep running when disruption hits—and why a crisis plan alone may no longer be enough. We also hear from Amy Webb, futurist, author, and CEO of the Future Today Strategy Group. She tells us why businesses need to stop treating every shock as a one-off and shares a powerful question leaders can use to challenge their assumptions. Together, we explore what it takes to build an organisation that can adapt, maintain momentum, and continue creating value through disruption, and why resilience can be more than risk management: it can be a source of competitive advantage.

How can CEOs sharpen their focus on the now and what's next?
Confidence is down. Pressure is up. And CEOs are being asked to lead through more uncertainty than ever. Take on Tomorrow is on the ground in Davos, Switzerland, at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, where Sarah von Fischer discusses key findings from PwC’s 29th Global CEO Survey—and what this year’s results could mean for the C-suite, and beyond. She’s joined by Dion Shango, Senior Partner, PwC Africa, and Agnes Koops, Global Vice Chair and Global Chief Commercial Officer, PwC, to explore why CEOs are losing confidence in short-term growth—even as they continue investing in AI, innovation, and other new opportunities. Why are some companies pulling ahead while others struggle to turn AI into real results? And are today’s leaders spending their time on the right priorities to win both now...and later? Join us as we ask what it takes to lead with agility in the age of AI. Take on Tomorrow is brought to you by strategy+business, a PwC publication © 2026 PwC.

Are factories the new frontier of big tech?
Making all the items we need and use in our everyday lives requires an intricate network of producers, suppliers, and distributors. But intricacy can have consequences: supply chains today are frequently disrupted, even as new technologies are changing everything we thought we knew about manufacturing. Long-standing processes are being revamped to try to make them more efficient, and that means a radical rethinking of the way we make things.In this special episode of Take on Tomorrow, hosts Lizzie O’Leary and Femi Oke talk with Kiva Allgood, Head of the Centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Supply Chains at the World Economic Forum, about the impact of automation on the workforce. Meanwhile, Cara Haffey, Leader of Industry for Industrial Manufacturing and Services at PwC UK, unpacks the opportunities this shift brings for new types of businesses.Take on Tomorrow is brought to you by strategy+business, a PwC publication © 2025 PwC.
