Clusters Think In: Episode 3 - How economic clusters can help drive up innovation collaboration in the UK

In the third in our 'Clusters Think In' series, Hashi Mohammed, Contributing Editor at Tortoise Media is joined by Ben Law, VP for GoDaddy in UK & Ireland, and Dr Poonam Malik, Head of Investments at Strathclyde University, to discuss how economic clusters can help drive up innovation collaboration in every region and nation of the UK.    In this episode we discuss how a dynamic approach to innovation can forge new partnerships between businesses and be the essential DNA of a successful cluster. Ben explains how this can be vital in nurturing microbusinesses to be the next generation of scale up high growth firms which can really power regional economies, create jobs and narrow disparities between different parts of the country. Dr Poonam talks about the need for strong partnerships between Universities, investors and government to build the necessary ecosystem to enable more of our leading research and development to translate into commercially successful products and services which can drive world leading clusters in the UK. 'Clusters Think In' is a podcast series included as part of the CBI's series of Thriving Regions events. Listen and subscribe to the series here.
