A short 45 minute session on making the most of available innovation data. A basic overview for economic growth officers in LAs and MSAs.

Innovation can make products better, processes more efficient, and businesses more effective. It enables individuals, businesses, and economies to produce more output with the same or fewer inputs, improving productivity and helping local economies grow. This session will introduce innovation for local policymakers, covering key concepts, what data is available, and things to be aware of when analysing your local area’s data.


Join us for an overview from our Deputy Director of Evidence Victoria Sutherland, after which you’ll have an opportunity to ask questions.


This short 45-minute session will complement our new ‘how to’ guide, Understanding local economic performance: innovation to be published in the autumn. These sessions are aimed at policymakers who want to make good use of evidence but are pressed for time and may not have support from data analysts.
