Episode 33 of the Sheffield Digital Podcast has landed and it features a great interview with Sam Chapman, CIO and founder of The Floow, the Sheffield company using tech to make mobility safer and smarter for everyone.
It’s a fascinating conversation as Sam explains the way data is used to improve road safety, among other things, and the way it’s changing industries. We also hear about Sam’s role in economy.shf, where he is helping find ways to help Sheffield move forward as a city, as well as recognise where it could do better (selling itself!).
Huge thanks to Sam for joining us – you’re going to love the chat.
In the second part of the show, Mel and Chris go through some of the latest news from Sheffield’s digital sector. It’s a packed show, so off you pop and get stuck in. Enjoy!
