On Thursday 4th December, Lord Drayson, Minister of State for Science and Innovation will make a keynote speech on the importance of innovation in an economic downturn. 

 

Lord Drayson will then join a panel discussion with Brent Hoberman, co-founder of Lastminute.com and Charlie Leadbeater, innovation expert and NESTA Visiting Fellow which will consider the opportunities arising as a result of the downturn. Jonathan Kestenbaum, NESTA’s Chief Executive will moderate.

 

The event marks the launch of a NESTA report – ‘The Networked Recession’ - which will highlight how in an ultra-connected world, events a thousands miles away can affect us almost immediately: Our ability to respond effectively to the downturn will depend upon the resilience of those networks and our ability to manage the challenges they present. It will argue that the UK needs targeted investments on infrastructure, alongside a new economic strategy that reflects the changing nature of the economy.


Registration will be from 5.00pm and presentations to start promptly at 5.30pm
