Our London Risky Women were delighted to welcome leading economist Professor Mariana Mazzucato (PhD) as our keynote speaker. Mariana, Professor in the Economics of Innovation and Public Value, University College London (UCL), where she is establishing a new Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose was the perfect person to kick off our day! Her topic was – Does size matter when it comes to innovation?
Mariana has advised policy makers around the world on innovation-led growth and is currently a member of the Scottish Government’s Council of Economic Advisors; the World Economic Forum’s Council on the Economics of Innovation and SITRA’s (Finnish Innovation Fund) Advisory Panel.
