IED CPD Online: R&D led growth

12 Nov 2024 - Online via Zoom

Important - this webinar will run over 2 separate sessions, each running for 90 minutes on the 12th and 13th November 2024.

This CPD module is intended to allow delegates to explore the key factors when considering R&D led growth, including:

• The importance of development and productivity in the economy
• Government levers for research & development (patent box, tax credits)
• Wider government initiatives – Innovation Zones and the new emphasis on technology
• The wider public sector landscape including Catapults
• HEI and role – different initiatives for working with business
• Incubators / accelerators – critical success factors
• Private sector funding and the role of VC in different guises

The course is run in a participative manner and is aimed at creating a practical experience with applicability to all economic development practitioners both from the course learning, examples of good and poor practice and the interaction with other delegates.

This course will be led by Nigel Wilcock, Executive Director of the IED.

Attendance is open to both IED members and non IED members.
