Two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of hosting a conversation with Mariana Mazzucato, David Eaves, Henrique Dolabella, and Mansi Kedia about state capacity in the digital age and the role of Digital Public Infrastructure. Here are some highlights: - The digital agenda is also a state capacity and a sovereignty one. - No infrastructure is neutral in directionality, and DPI is no exception. Therefore, there is only DPI with explicit Public Governance. - As old as it gets: there's no one size fits all. Each country has unique specifications and models. - We must find new ways of measuring the economic impact of digital transformation, and the current measurements don't account for the non-linearity of the impact that usually takes place in developing countries (Mansi's new study at iCRIER proposes a new framework) - DPI thinking has the potential to support climate change efforts, and Brazil has been considering this approach to land registries. Here are two good sources to reflect on the learnings above: - Our DPI and Public Value Paper: https://lnkd.in/dcGccv2J - iCRIER's new State of India Digital Economy Report 2024: https://lnkd.in/dvUkujv6

Growing new ways of working together across organizational boundaries is key to realizing systems innovation. One way to talk about this is the idea of "collaborative networks". The aim is for us to start to connect and work together in new ways at the "in-between" space and, to over time realize the emergence of new "ecosystem" ways of collaborating around complex challenges.

The Cambridge tech ecosystem has a value of $191 billion, representing 18 per cent of the entire UK’s tech ecosystem and more than Spain and Italy combined, according to new analysis by Dealroom.co for Founders at the University of Cambridge. In addition, Cambridge has outpaced the rest of the UK and London in delivering more value from venture capital invested. In the first half of 2024 alone, Cambridge tech companies raised a record-breaking $1.6 billion. Dividing the total Enterprise Value of companies founded in Cambridge by VC dollars invested reveals that the city produced 16.9 times the value for every dollar of VC investment, significantly ahead of the UK average of 5.4 times, and London’s 4.8 times.  #CambridgeEcosystem #deeptech #venturecapital #entrepreneurship
