💡What makes an open innovation programme work?
We spoke with @cisl_cambridge’s Chief Innovation Officer James Cole to learn about their work with L’Oréal and find out how corporates, startups, and academia can partner in impactful ways.

Today we launched our new talent programmes to find exceptional people who can save Britain from stagnation.
Our CEO Munira Mirza has written for the Times on why this is so essential. 👇

There’s no future for the UK, or indeed the EU and US, as a manufacturer of internal combustion engines and boilers when China is about to flood global markets with low cost and big performance EVs and heat pumps and solar panels and batteries.

Thank you @cisl_cambridge for organising such a great panel discussion at #COP16 on how economic growth meets Nature. Without Nature the economy dies & with Nature already seriously depleted we need to take a different path. Big message: Grow Nature for health, wealth & security.
My message to the #cop16 - we need innovation, ambition but most of all leadership and action
💡We need to unlock both new visions for how nature-connected sectors operate and pathways to achieve them. At #COP16Colombia, we're asking leaders to drive innovation in, and transformation of, critical sectors and supply chains.

Homelessness has always been an issue for #Cambridge, but the problem is worsening...
Consider supporting @Jimmyscambridge this Christmas , who provide beds, meals and local support: jimmyscambridge.org.uk/suppo…
‘transition away’ far too weak at this late stage IMO. Both the strengths and weaknesses of the consensus COP process at play - but we are *8 years* since Paris and still can’t agree the obvious:
We must unequivocally move faster to phase out fossil fuels
#COP28
James Cole retweeted
The talks are why we are here & getting an agreed fossil fuel phase out date remains the biggest step countries need to take here in Dubai over the remaining days of the summit
We need a fair, fast, full & funded fossil phase-out.
James Cole retweeted
We need to remember #COP28 is not a trade show & a press conference. It’s an international negotiation & that is still the most important part.
