Politics fractures when policy fails - as events of the last year have shown. Nine years on from the global financial crisis, policymakers are still struggling to find convincing answers to the economic problems it exposed. At the same time, the world faces many significant and complex challenges, from climate change to the problems of managing chronic health conditions, to the challenges of ageing populations, to meeting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. This special event marks the launch of a new collaboration between the RSA and UCL’s new Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose to develop mission-oriented innovation policy in practice.

Speakers: Jeffrey Sachs, Director, Center for Sustainable Development, Columbia University; Mariana Mazzucato, , Professor & Director, Institute for Innovation & Public Purpose, UCL; Carlota Perez, Professor of Technology and Development, London School of Economics
Chair: Rowan Conway, Director of Innovation and Development
