Introduction

This is a snap discussion – one week after the appointment of the new Mayor – and the first of a series of activities. We will be discussing:

  • Visions for R&D, creativity and innovation and London’s future economy
  • What we can learn from past experience and initiatives; and
  • Practical ideas for the future

Our focus will be skills and new knowledge; thinking big and being global; risk-taking and leadership; benefitting citizens and trusting people; and funding and viability. If you want to contribute in advance (perhaps as you can’t attend) please post ideas via the discussion thread on the event page, or post in elsewhere and Tweet with hashtag ‘#InnovationVisionsLDN’.

(There is no cost to take part in this discussion. Some refreshments will be provided.)
