For episode 16 of the 2024 season of our weekly show, TWF! (Tech Wave Forum), we are focusing on the primary research from Cloud Industry Forum published 13th May. This is our annual "state of the cloud" report. This year it's called "Tough times, but innovation springs internal" with the subtitle of "How cloud is the key technology enabler helping businesses innovate in a turbulent period".  Instead of the usual interview, our host and CIF CEO David Terrar will summarise the report and its themes, which highlight cloud's ubiquity, the amazing rate of adoption of GenAI, and the importance of cloud supporting this new era.
