Andrew Gaule in discussion with Russell Sheffield, Founder and CEO of Trackd Music, (https://trackdmusic.com).
Andrew and Russell cover a lot of ground from Russell growing up around Queen, Beatles and other music icons in his father's recording studio. We then hear about his journey as a tech entrepreneur and launching EasyJet first website for Stelios. Russell has also built early tech and payments ventures.
Russell's Trackd venture is a recording studio in your pocket that puts the power and revenue opportunity to song writers and performers. As the industry has moved from record stores to online music with platforms like iTunes and Spotify the artists have been receiving lower rewards.
Andrew was the first investor in Trackd and supports other ventures that are disrupting different sectors.

This was the launch of a Quantum Future Programme and if you would like to participate in future programmes do contact info@aimava.com.
This is the breakout discussion highlights from eight senior execs facilitating leading practitioners driving the Quantum Future.
This short engaging programme included a key speaker panel outlining the key opportunities of Quantum, how ventures are now scaling and how Strategic Investing is going to scale. In the breakout sessions with industry experts we discussed in small groups opportunities for Innovative New Value Chains as Quantum drives new business models.
Disruption is going to occur in many sectors due to the power of Quantum Computing, Sensing, Security and related technologies. Proof of concepts, select applications and investment is now ramping up as research is leaving academia, ventures are being formed and VC with Corporate Venture Capital is growing significantly.
The Speaker Panel we had for the context in first 30 minutes - which is included in this video
Prem Tumkosit – MSD (Merck in USA) Global Health Innovation Fund (Perspective from a corporate investor)
Ilana Wisby – CEO Oxford Quantum Circuits (Venture which has funding and scaling)
Kai Bongs - Birmingham Uni Quantum Hub (perspective from research)
Andrew Gaule - Aimava (Author of Purpose to Performance - Innovative New Value Chains)
Breakout Discussion with Expert Facilitators we have notes and details of if you would like to contact us.

Aimava has driven developments in many prior technologies at the stages that Quantum is now at. We believe the sector now requires cross-industry collaboration to understand the mix of technology, start-ups, incumbent players and identify new business models and partnerships.
Connecting technology, startups and corporates with new business models, what we term “Innovative New Value Chains®” (INVCs) will be key to accelerating the development of solutions that bring great benefits to the world and business opportunities. These can include development of better medicines, optimised logistics, sensing for the unseen, enhanced data security and many more applications. When these solutions are truly impactful they will disrupt whole industries and give opportunities to current incumbents or new entrants. Aimava has delivered INVC programmes in Electric Vehicles, Internet of Things, AI with leading organisations such as Aviva, BP, National Grid, Nio, Nissan, Total, Williams etc., leading edge ventures and investors.
Next Steps Following this activity we select disruptive opportunities and INVCs to build on the opportunities identified & offer in-depth discussions & connections with relevant businesses.

Key discussion points
· The US and Europe continue to offer compelling opportunities for investment in new Automotive and Energy technology and services, however, there is a growing focus on China due to the scale and speed of new technology development and deployment, including New Energy Vehicles, MaaS, Autonomous Vehicles and Artificial Intelligence, and China’s low carbon energy policy.
· The low carbon business models and data-rich services for the Automotive and Energy sectors of the future will depend on a broad range of different customer segments and be determined by each respective use-case i.e. private car, leased car, shared car, taxi, rental, autonomous etc. In addition, with less people owning private cars in the future, it is expected that a significant proportion of cars will be operator-owned which would therefore create a shift from an OEM to operator-owner driven business model.
· Unlike an Internal Combustion Engine which benefits from high utilisation, a battery operated vehicle will need to have different performance parameters which consider the impact of fast charging, load and utilisation on battery life. Likewise in a rental scenario, high turnover rate, induction charging for a battery-operated vehicle will be more practical than using tethered cables.
· Although the commercial viability of V2G is yet to be proven, particularly given the battery cost, battery design solutions, including hybrid and modular batteries with priorities and pricing determined by the smart grid, together with safety considerations (which might be able to be transferred across from legacy applications), are already a key component of the new Automotive-Energy value chain.
· The use of alternative energy, such as Hydrogen for long haul vehicles, aviation and rail is gaining traction in the US, Europe and China with the development of a national strategy for Hydrogen underway in a number of these markets and new technology to lower the cost of production also being developed. However, whilst Hydrogen is a strategic future consideration for many Energy majors, it is not yet economically viable beyond a niche use case.
