26 May 2016

Nesta, 1 Plough Place, London EC4A 1DE

The IGL Policy and Practice Learning Lab brought together policy-makers and practitioners to discuss the latest developments in innovation, entrepreneurship and growth policy.

The day focused on both pioneering new ideas in the field as well as the practical challenges that these programmes face.

Through workshops and interactive sessions, the we explored what works in innovation policy, how to manage innovation agencies, when to use challenge prizes, and how to build capacity among those delivering innovation policy.

We also launched our new report on how governments can more effectively design and run national innovation agencies, building on an in-depth study of the work of 10 agencies from around the world.
