It’s Time to Support and Celebrate Science

as the Chief Visionary officer of Malta’s fastest-growing science company evolve, Christopher busuttil delbridge says that progress in any country can be measured by whether or not the scientific based sector is thriving.

how do you intend to help scientists, researchers, surgeons and biomedical specialists increase efficiency over the next year and beyond?

Efficiency is a tricky word in science. We are more pragmatic and tend to focus more on effectiveness. For example, issuing 20 specific results in an hour could be considered efficient in some quarters; however, we are focused on enabling the fact that the necessary training, tools and methods on site guarantee the correct results to be issued first time. Sometimes it really is a question of life and death.

Our services have been in fact honed around the whole lifecycle of any project - design (a space, or a solution), equip (take on the whole hassle of logistics, installation and any initial calibrations), train (ensure the highest standards are met and kept) and maintain (for any customer to take full advantage of their investment while ensuring correct and accurate results). At Evolve we are very keen on training our personnel, learning from our own mistakes, integrating fool-proof methods of operation, assistive automation and leveraging advances in technology such as Augmented Reality (AR), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) for the benefit of our customers.

Why should it be in the general public’s interest to support and celebrate the successes of the scientific based sector?

Scientific activities underpin and define who we are today as a human race and how we live our lives. We have so many comforts, live better and longer lives and are able to respond to immediate threats (such as the recent Sars-Cov2 virus), thanks to all the work done in the mostly hidden confines of laboratories. It is high time that this huge achievement and contribution is brought to light by companies like Evolve who have been working in the shadows supporting this very important sector. The world invests so much money into luxury products, experiences and construction, just to name a few. Yet the funding for the one thing that really makes a difference to our life is many times lacking. It is high time that the general public is sensitised to who and what is actually supporting them. The scientific based sector is a symbol of progress in any country. Once it starts thriving it signifies that the country has come a long way and matured to a level, as well as produced enough local talent to be able to support white, purple and gold collar job positions. Very interesting indeed.

What are evolve plans, hopes and ambitions for 2022?

This will be the year to practice what we preach even more. We have already engaged specialists to lead our team towards building a ‘Culture of Distinction’. This includes a huge focus on our quality aspect as measured from various aspects, caring for each other and all other stakeholders, and great team-building activities to counter the effects of remote working and ballooning staff numbers who are all new to our culture. I am positive the knock-on effect will be felt by one and all in a short time. n
