The eight great technologies are: big data, satellites, robotics and autonomous systems, synthetic biology, regenerative medicine, advanced materials, energy storage, and agri-science.

If there’s one thing that can make or break our time off, it’s the weather. We certainly seem to have a lot of it, and it can seem like the forecast never brings us what we want.

Are you a beach holiday kind of person, or more into city breaks? Whichever kind of break you prefer, it's likely that you'll spend some of your time sightseeing.
