Northern Powerhouse is a Govt initiative and so its 'power' to change and improve the North is subject to the vagaries of politics. Silicon Yorkshire is a movement. It's the coming together of people with a common goal - that of driving economic growth and social wealth, to improve the lives and opportunities of the folks that live here with us. It's where we want everyone to have the chance to build the life they dream of and from where we believe we can solve some of the world's greatest challenges.
An experienced senior Strategic Advisor and Non-Executive Director with a focus on commercialisation, capital raising, organisational growth and high-impact collaborations. I help governments use entrepreneur and investor ecosystem creation/nurture for economic development purposes, and support start-up, SME, corporate and large multi-stakeholder innovation
