ARIA Summit 2025
Uniting the ARIA community
Bringing our community together in person for the first time
Over three days of talks, panels, and collaborative sessions, we heard from Creators leading transformative research across our opportunity spaces, saw the real-world impact of emerging technologies, and took inspiration from pioneering voices across the R&D ecosystem.
Throughout the programme, we dug into the adaptability, resilience and speed needed for us to succeed – not just to reach those breakthrough moments, but to turn them into the trillion-pound industries that could change the world.
Discover the talks below.
Opening programme
We opened the Summit with an evening of live storytelling, where voices including patient advocate Jon Nelson, Wayve's Alex Kendall, Creators behind Nature Computes Better, and Programme Director Jenny Read shared bold, personal stories — from unexpected career pivots to redefining high performance, each story offered a unique lens on ambition, curiosity, and radical possibility.
Programme highlights
We brought together trailblazing researchers, industry leaders, policymakers and entrepreneurs from across the UK and the world.
