With ever decreasing budgets, greater citizen expectations, social inequality challenges, and the pressure cities are facing with the climate emergency, the role of transport to support economic growth and further supporting healthier cities, there needs to be a transformative shift on how cities work with the market to move to sustainable collaborative partnerships and avoid low-level transactional activity.

Rikesh Shah, a global leader on open innovation will make the case on how cities can shape markets and work in collaboration to develop innovative solutions to achieve better, cheaper and quicker public policy outcomes. He previously led Open Innovation at Transport for London.

If you are a public body or an innovative start-up, academic, venture capitalists or accelerator, listen to Rikesh's challenge to all of us.
