We were delighted to co-host this inspiring on 2nd July at The Shard, in collaboration with Developing Business-Aware Academics and University of Warwick.
The event provided a unique opportunity to bring together senior leaders from industry, academia, and policy to explore how the UK's world-class research community can help address real-world challenges and drive positive societal and economic change.
We were honoured to open the event with remarks from Frank Lee FICW, CEO of ICW, and Professor Alison Truelove, Project Director of Developing Business-Aware Academics.
The Keynote address by Lord Jim Knight, former Parliamentary Cabinet Minister and respected industry leader, set the tone for a day full of insight and energy. A dynamic panel discussion followed, featuring:
- David Payne, Springer Nature
- Professor Helen Berry, University of Exeter
- Simon Reid, Babcock International Group
- Oliver Walmsley, Warwick Innovation District
- Debbie Johnson, Innovate UK
Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this day a success - your passion and collaboration made all the difference. A special mention to Kirsty Kelley, University of Exeter.
At ICW, we believe that collaboration is the key to unlocking innovation and driving meaningful impact. We look forward to continuing the conversation and strengthening the connections between research and real-world impact.
