Industrial marketing company Horizon Works is proud to announce the next evolution of its innovation-focused podcast, Invented, with a new, expanded series set to launch in April 2026.
The refreshed programme will feature more frequent episodes and a broader national reach, shining a spotlight on the UK’s most exciting innovators, engineers, scientists, and technology leaders.
Invented was created to give pioneering organisations and individuals a platform to share the ideas, technologies, and breakthroughs shaping the future. Each episode offers listeners an inside look at the challenges, opportunities, and creative thinking driving progress across advanced industries — from offshore wind and subsea engineering to biotechnology, space and digital innovation.
Since its launch, Invented has welcomed a diverse range of trailblazers whose work is transforming their sectors:
• Paul Davison, Deputy CEO of SMD — Discussing world leading subsea engineering and the global impact of North East innovation.
• Dr Andrew Jenkins, CEO and Founder of Kinewell Energy — Exploring how AI driven optimisation is reducing the cost of offshore wind.
• Ian Armstrong, Managing Director of Pulcea — Sharing insights into the development of noise mitigating technology to protect marine life from the effects of construction noise.
• Professor Mark Birch Machin and Jonathan Brookes of Skin Life Analytics — Revealing how advanced diagnostics are ‘making the invisible, visible’ in skin health.
• Ralph ‘Dinz’ Dinsley, Founder of 3S Northumbria — Opening up the world of space situational awareness and orbital safety.
• Jurek Kozyra, Founder of Nanovery — Introducing the potential of DNA nanorobots in medicine.
These conversations have helped establish Invented as a trusted voice in the innovation landscape, showcasing the ingenuity and ambition found across the UK.
Invented podcast guest Ian Armstrong, Managing Director of Pulcea, said: “Being invited by Horizon Works to participate in their Invented podcast proved to be a fascinating and beneficial experience.
“Their professional approach made it all the more enjoyable and it is always rewarding to meet a new contact and be greeted with the words, ‘I listened to your Invented podcast and found it to be extremely informative & helpful preparation’.”
The upcoming 2026 series marks a significant step forward for the podcast. Horizon Works will broaden its focus to include innovators from across the country, delivering richer insights and more frequent episodes to meet growing audience demand.
Samantha Vassallo, founder of Horizon Works and Invented said: “I founded Invented because I’m genuinely inspired by the people pushing boundaries. I wanted to build a platform that celebrates the brilliant minds pushing boundaries across the UK and gives them the space to tell the stories that often go unheard.
“This next chapter gives us the chance to celebrate even more innovators from across the UK — and I can’t wait to share their stories.”
Horizon Works is now inviting innovators, founders, researchers, and industry leaders to take part in the new series. Those with a compelling story, breakthrough technology, or bold vision for the future are encouraged to get in touch and be part of the next wave of Invented.
