Northamptonshire Growth, Innovation & Productivity Board Launch

Friday 26 June

Be part of a new chapter for Northamptonshire as leaders from business, local government, education and industry come together for the official launch of the Northamptonshire Growth, Innovation & Productivity (NGIP) Board.

A key part of NGIP’s role is to address the need for stronger system leadership and connectivity across the local innovation ecosystem, as highlighted in the Northamptonshire Innovation Ecosystem Report. By creating a more joined-up approach, the Board aims to make it easier for businesses to access the support, expertise, funding and partnerships they need to grow and innovate.

This launch event offers the first look at the NGIP Board’s vision and priorities, outlining how organisations across the county can help shape and contribute to Northamptonshire’s future growth. It will also highlight the projects and partnerships designed to support innovation, business scale-up, workforce development and long-term economic resilience.

Guests can expect:

Insight into the NGIP vision, priorities, and next steps
Sector lead panel involving strategic partners from UKWA, STC, Weetabix and more
Opportunities to connect with leaders across business, education, and government
Networking with organisations driving innovation and change across Northamptonshire

Following the launch, attendees are encouraged to continue the conversation at Merged Futures 8, a free celebration of innovation, creativity and emerging technology featuring exhibitors, live demonstrations and expert speakers from across Northamptonshire and beyond.
