From Policy to Place: Translating national strategy into thriving local ecosystems

​National policy, funding and sector strategies set the direction, but growth happens in places. This session explores how industrial strategy, R&D investment and national institutions translate into effective local innovation ecosystems.

​Bringing together government, universities, investors and local leaders, the discussion will focus on what enables successful delivery on the ground, from investment readiness to partnership models, and how national and local actors can better align to unlock growth.
