As we know, it’s not always the biggest companies, financiers and governments alone that drive innovation and creativity but working genuinely collaboratively with the changemakers, dreamers, entrepreneurs, scientists, techies, artists, academics, journalists, experts, activists, residents and small investors, in cultures, that give generously to the nurturing of their clusters, that we can make a difference.”
