Description

In this episode, we look at how the city wanting to attract big business and London money - is also the city pioneering the weird, small, experimental ideas that are often best scaled-up elsewhere
 
And we try to answer the following questions:
 
  • Can Brighton & Hove be comfortable as the UK's ideas lab?
  • What is a laboratory approach to business/tech, social justice, public services and culture/sport?
  • Who is investing in ideas and risk?
  • How important are collaborative spaces? Messy spaces? Interdisciplinary spaces?
