Mitra Najafi, Founder and CEO of Pplus Skin Care

After years of investing a huge amount of time and money on several post graduate qualifications while working in clinic and single-handedly raising twin boys, Mitra opened her last and the most successful clinic: Stardent Dental Laser Clinic in 2007, at the beginning of recession. Despite the economic turmoil she grew the business from a very small team of only 2 employees to a centre of excellence with a large team of leading specialists and highly skilled team of employees. Between 2007-2013, they received several National awards and nominations.

Back in 2014, Mitra walked away from her highly successful clinic to develop some medical products that she knew would make a huge difference to many people’s quality of life. Mitra spent 4 years on R&D and spent every penny that she had to get to where she is now. Currently the products are going through several tests to qualify for all the market approvals that they need to start commercializing them. This year they have been selected and awarded by both Innovate UK and recently by European Horizon 2020 that only support the brightest and boldest entrepreneurs with breakthrough ideas with the potential to create entirely new markets or revolutionise existing ones. She is extremely proud to have been chosen as one of the companies in Europe with ground-breaking innovative ideas, products and services that are ready to conquer global markets.

Abstract:
If I had one word to describe myself it would have to be determined!

A passionate entrepreneur with a vision to help humankind and change the world, fearless in pursuit of innovating and disrupting the marketplace, a go getter who pushes through obstacles and setbacks no matter what. A multi award winning cosmetic dentist, facial aesthetic expert, and inventor with a passion for learning new pioneering technologies. Hugely proud to have been called crazy, misfit, the rebel, the troublemaker, the round peg in the square hole. The one who sees things differently.I guess if I wasn’t as determined as I am , I wouldn’t have achieved half the things I have in my lifetime.

Having gone through a very long and challenging battle to raise investment here in the UK, being heavily criticised and at a couple of occasions even ridiculed for being a solo founder, for not being a university spin out, for not having any previous experience of running global businesses which led to investors rejecting me constantly, I’m now over the moon that my hard work, persistence and perseverance has started to pay off in ways that I could never even imagine! With EU deciding to invest in my business I now have investors from all over the world approaching me offering investment and support.

Abstract:
Innovation is a key consideration for UK electricity network operators as we transition to a smarter, more economical, more flexible energy system that can support the decarbonisation of heat and transport. It is also a crucial element of the Great Britain regulatory framework for electricity networks, which includes funding and incentives that help us innovate for our customers’ benefit, as well as deliver value for the network in the long term. Since 2004, there has been more than 1,300 innovation projects. The drivers for innovation in electricity networks are aligned with the energy trilemma which balances energy security, affordability6 and sustainability as we transition to a low carbon energy system. Traditional network management solutions, such as network reinforcement, are no longer considered the only viable or most economical solution to network development. A rapidly changing electricity sector requires new and innovative strategies from all participants, including fundamentally different approaches to our business and the way we are serving customers, as well as a range of technical and commercial innovations.

A rapidly changing environment requires new innovative strategies from all participants, including fundamentally different approaches to business and to serving customers, and embracing a range of technical and commercial innovations to do so effectively. Key drivers for the changing energy system in this context include: shifting power generation sources, changes for customers in terms of choice and demand, policy drivers related to decarbonisation of heat and transport, a greater focus on sustainability, and regulatory trends to ensure a smart, flexible system with greater local system operation responsibilities for Distribution Network Operators (DNOs). These trends will give rise to the need for further innovation from us, the electricity network companies, and will simultaneously pose a number of challenges, which we have synthesised into five themes as shown below. Innovation Strategies have to be developed to set out a jointly-agreed approach as to how innovation can best accommodate the future requirements of the energy system in its entirety, and can lead to the effective delivery of benefits in a collaborative and cost-effective way.

Innovation themes and challenges:

  1. Uncertainty and choices for the electricity network companies
  2. The Smart, Flexible Energy System and the DSO transition
  3. Customer choice and changing energy demands
  4. Evolving policy landscape
  5. Shifting power-generating sources

Industry trends:

  1. Network improvements and system operability
  2. Transition to a low carbon future
  3. New technologies and commercial evolution
  4. Customer and stakeholder focus
  5. Safety, health and environment

Innovation is a key element of the RIIO1 regulatory framework, which includes funding and incentives to enable innovation in order to deliver customer benefit and long term network value. Since 2004, the DNOs have embraced innovation, as evidenced by the more than 1,300 projects that have been delivered. Innovation will remain a central focus of the DNO future plans for the remainder of this price control period, as well as in the long term.The independent 2016 evaluation of the Low Carbon Networks Fund (LCNF2), which was commissioned by Ofgem, highlighted that the LCNF succeeded in encouraging us to innovate and served to move our level of innovation from a ‘low’ base to a ‘moderate’ level3. The potential future net benefit from LCNF projects is estimated to be between 4.5 and 6.5 times the funding costs.

Coleman is an American astrophysicist and data scientist at the University of Portsmouth who works on data aggregation for various citizen science projects. Coleman is also the technical lead for The Tactile Universe – a public engagement project to make current astrophysics research accessible to people with vision impairments.

Abstract:
Astronomy is perceived to be one of the most visual sciences, which means that people with vision impairments can easily feel excluded from engaging with the subject. The Tactile Universe is an on-going public engagement project from the University of Portsmouth’s Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation that is creating accessible activities and resources that will enable members of the vision impaired community to engage with current research topics within astrophysics and cosmology. The current focus of the project is on creating 3D printed tactile versions of single filter images of galaxies (eg., red visible light, blue visible light, etc). These can then be used to explain a variety of concepts related to galaxy research, such as galaxy shape and galaxy stellar populations.

In our presentation, using a custom plug in for 3D modelling software Blender, we will demonstrate the production process for our 3D models and describe how we have used the final 3D printed tactile images in different classroom and public settings to date. Throughout the talk, audience members will also have a chance to get hands-on with these models. We will briefly share the lessons that we have learnt through the project so far, and outline our plans for expanding the project nationally over the next year.
