I recently participated at the Innovation Growth Lab’s Global Conference, IGL2019. The conference is a unique opportunity to access the latest developments in innovation policy, and more importantly, on evidence about these types of policies.
If they want to have an impact, innovation mappers need to be more bee-like in their work, laboriously collecting facts and connecting them...
Albert and James explore what the new EU funding for experimental innovation support means for innovation agencies and evidence.
In June 2017, we hosted IGL2017. IGL's Director, Albert explores the three important ingredients for making innovation policy more innovative, and explains why IGL2017 is an important part of the conversation.
Every year we spend quite a lot of time thinking about the key challenges that innovation policymakers face. These are some of the questions that we think are important, and that we will be discussing at the IGL2017 Global Conference in Barcelona on 13-14 June:

Ahead of our #IGL16 conference on 24-26 May, Geoff Mulgan and Albert Bravo-Biosca explore the growing movement of experimental innovation policy.
