In this edition, we have taken a deep dive into some of the biggest challenges facing businesses  around the world today such as the over-reliance on China and its impact on the global supply  chain (page 182) as well as taking a look at whether the recent rise in automation is killing jobs  or presenting new opportunities (page 152).

We have also featured numerous interviews with thought leaders in areas ranging from  excavation to those supporting hemp farmers and developing market-leading CBD products.  We have also celebrated many of the thought leaders and businesses that are paving the way  for innovation and excellence across a wide range of industries through our awards.
