As London confronts a post-Brexit future in an age of changing work patterns and shifting global alliances, the connections between government support, entrepreneurism and technological capacity are at the heart of the debate of how cities will compete for jobs, talent and investment. Is the government doing enough to attract, stimulate and retain the next generation of individuals and companies that will keep the capital growing? Is Lisbon overtaking London as Europe tech-capital, and what are the lessons, if any, from Silicon Valley to the unrealised Silicon Roundabout? Rohan Silva, the founder of London’s most forward-looking accelerators, Second Home, and architect of the city’s innovation policy addresses these and other questions. Director of LSE Cities Ricky Burdett will chair the talk.
