Welcome to the Summer 2021 edition of Ahead of the Curve. 

Technology and change have always gone hand in hand. So we thought our Ahead of the Curve magazine needed a fresh format, with more rich content, as it embraces its position as a tech focused publication.

Our contributors know all about responding to change – and innovating to provide solutions.

In the article, 'Your face, your data, your future', Husayn Kassai’s ‘big idea’ moment came when his parents experienced the challenge of simply opening a bank account. Our article tells the story of how his digital verification business, Onfido, came to top the FinTech 50 and what’s next on its development roadmap.

Or if you want to sit back and have a listen to our pod, you could learn what a NASA Space Engineer, Elon Musk, a broken washing machine, and the Oxford University rugby team kit have in common... Find out as we talk to the founders of OxWash who took a passion for sustainability and set out to clean up the laundry business – quite literally.

In addition, we explore the ongoing ‘privacy wars’ and ‘Cookiepocalypse’ in our feature on the challenges facing AdTech. How can AdTech adapt and innovate in the face of growing data protection regulation and increased concern amongst users about control and transparency over the use of their personal data?

All this – and more - from our lawyers and contributors, in our re-imagined, fully digital magazine.

Thank you for taking the time to read Ahead of the Curve. I hope you enjoy it and its new format.
