Innovation: A Cross-Sector Approach

Hosted by the Cardiff University Innovation Network, this event will bring together organisations to network and explore initiatives and opportunities for cross-sector collaboration.

‘Cross-sector collaboration - an approach to working across public, private and not-for-profit sectors for the common good - can help to address the biggest challenges of our time’ - The Whitehall and Industry Group (WIG) 'Cross - sector Collaboration at Work' Roadmap, 2024.

Collaboration across different sectors can really help us address the big challenges we face today by tapping into the unique knowledge, skills, experiences, and resources that each field brings to the table.

At Cardiff University, we work with others to uncover insights and co-create solutions that go way beyond what we could do achieve on our own. By collaborating with a wide range of organisations, we exchange fresh knowledge and research, working together to tackle today’s challenges in ways that can be used across different sectors and industries.

On February 19th, we are holding a workshop where organisations can come together to network and learn about the various initiatives and opportunities for working together across different sectors.

There will be a series of talks from speakers including:

Sarah Lethbridge, Pro Dean of External Engagement, Cardiff University (Event Chair)
Dr Neil Bentley-Gockmann OBE, Chief Executive, The Whitehall & Industry Group (WIG)
Owen Wilce, Public Service Innovation Manager, Cardiff Capital Region
Dr Yulia Cherdantseva, Co-director of Cardiff University Digital Transformation Innovation Institute, Cardiff University
Professor Peter Wells, Professor of Business and Sustainability, Director of the Centre for Automotive Industry Research, Pro Dean for Public Value, Cardiff Business School.

Join us as we dive deep into the power of collaboration and co-creating solutions that make a real impact across sectors, disciplines and industries.
