SHIFT: Scaling Innovation

Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park Innovation District

How can we take innovation to scale in London and beyond?

Here East

We are surrounded by a wealth of brilliant ideas on how to tackle the pressing urban challenges of our time, but the route to widespread impact is often hindered by systemic barriers. We need actionable strategies to combat these barriers and enable innovation at scale. We're inviting our ecosystem of business leaders, SME's, academic experts, community innovators and public sector representatives to explore together how we can propel early-stage innovations to new heights and develop systamatic methods to scale innovation effectively to address the major challenges of our time. 💡 Share and gain insights from a panel of leading voices in innovation as they dive into the complexities and possibilities of scaling up. 🤝Connect with fellow innovators, industry leaders and potential collaborators over networking and drinks. 🔧Contribute to shaping practical recommendations. SHIFT is committed to transforming insights from this event into a reality, and we’re inviting innovators from across our ecosystem to be part of the process.
