Welcome to the Sustainability Innovation Exchange

Together, we explored how policy can channel the innovative power of individuals towards more sustainable ways of living.

Through a series of text-based online conversations led by Cranfield University and hosted by GlobeScan on this site on Wednesday 25th May, we brought together people from all walks of life, who share an interest in trying to innovate for a more sustainable future. Together we are in the process of developing recommendations for policymakers on the role policy should play to support these efforts.

Policy for sustainable innovation

The focus of our conversations on 25th May was on policies for sustainable innovation by end users and entrepreneurs.

Along with its partners, Cranfield University is keen to ensure end users and entrepreneurs can fulfil their potential as innovation drivers in the transition to more sustainable ways of living. Whether they play this role within existing corporate innovation process (which are themselves becoming more open) or within new spaces and networks enabled by technologies and data.
