Discussion points The role of place in the innovation economy Places need to understand their competitive advantages and connectivity across a region or a country is vital for the innovation economy. COVID-19 is unlikely to fundamentally change the need for clustering in the innovation economy. Productivity variations are not just between sectors, but within sectors and businesses. Businesses need to be able to access innovation and new ways of working Timing is crucial for the levelling-up agenda, particularly for businesses and places beyond the South East of the UK. Local industrial strategies are critical in keeping businesses in play, while also becoming more innovative. It's more than just a north-south divide in the UK. Most British cities have been affected by this, but northern cities have a chance to catch up. Levelling up requires both resources and fundamental institutional change. The convergence of ICT, bio-science and nano-science are one particularly strong area for the UK The UK needs to be develop a much stronger interface between busines, industry and local leadership. Devolution is critical to this and the UK could learn a lot from the German model. The four critical factors in innovation economies are businesses, investors, knowledge institutions and places themselves. Innovation happens best and the boundaries of these. Places make it possible for the interactions that create business success “to be in the air”. Understanding innovation locations Places need to audit their advantages and opportunities – are they attracting innovation from beyond, or growing it internally? Creating the right physical and institutional structures that connect businesses and information is critical Enabling the right relationships to develop between people is also vital Understanding the unique attributes of places is critical for policy makers There are long corridors that can become focusses of innovation in some places, but in others it can be individual streets and city blocks Tailoring scale, location and the fabric of place to innovation requirements is vital The economic recovery will require us to rethink the city centre Mitigating downside risks, protecting key systems and promoting human health Working more cohesively at the regional level will be crucial for place leaders 2nd and 3rd tiers cities will need to position themselves more boldly and have the opportunity to make great strides; Greater Manchester, Toulouse, Lyon, Hamburg and Munich are ones to watch. Small cities (200-500k size) have an opportunity to become more global in their innovation economies We're likely to see more of a merge between the science and creative sectors in the innovation economy Logistics is also a huge opportunity for innovation within cities, particularly the ‘last mile' element. Understanding the ‘personality' of locations has been critical to the Catapult's understanding of innovation around the world: assets and infrastructure, business environment, vision and leadership. It's also important to understand different types of locations and where they are at in their journey: this is critical for a convening organisation like the Catapult, when connecting companies and innovators with the right locations.

On FPF #423, I break down an Oliver Stone tweet saying the US should develop a more diplomatic relationship with Russia. I look at some of the reasons, so many Americans reflexively oppose the US strengthening ties with our nuclear rival. I take on some establishment lies that created the dangerous situation we are now in with Russia and explain Trump has been more aggressive against Russia than Obama.  Links Russia showed US inspectors its hypersonic nuclear missile system under the auspices of the NEW START Treaty. [Link] The Pope visits Nagasaki to call for an abolition of nuclear weapons. [Link] Turkey is refusing to sign off on a NATO defense plan until NATO starts to recognize the Syrian Kurdish militia the YPG as a terror group. [Link] Erdogan says Turkey will manufacture fighter jets in house. [Link] NATO countries are working on a plan to pay more of NATO’s budget in an attempt to appease Trump. France has said they will not sign on to the plan and already contribute enough to defense. [Link] Turkey says their newly purchased Russian-made S-400 air defense system will not be integrated into NATO’s air defense. Russia says Turkey is looking to purchase more S-400s. [Link]  War Crimes The Navy is pushing back against Trump’s decision to restore the pay and rank of war criminal Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher. [Link] The Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer proposed a secret deal to the White House that would allow Gallager to retire a Navy Seal. Publicly, Spencer pushed to hold a hearing to determine if Gallager would be allowed to retire a Seal. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper asked for Spencer’s resignation in response to the secret proposal. [Link] Bolivia The coup government in Bolivia has passed a new law that annuls the recent election won by Evo Morales and bars him from the coming election.

As Luck would have it: How Carabao intends to become the number one energy drinks brand in the UK | The UK launch of the Athletic and its role as a paid-content market test | Big moves for Delia Bushell, Joanna Adams, and Jaymee Messler. Episode 61 of the Leaders Sport Business Podcast sees James Emmett and David Cushnan discuss the UK launch of the Athletic, its role as a litmus test for non-live paid sports content; and the new roles for industry innovators Delia Bushell, Joanna Adams, and Jaymee Messler; before introducing a conversation with Intercarabao CMO John Luck (at 16:27). Luck joined the energy drinks company in 2016, following stints in the marketing teams of Coca-Cola, Time Out, and Duchy Originals among others. Part of a small team tasked with launching the Thai brand in the UK market, Luck has overseen almost every aspect of Carabao's initial UK launch to its position, just three and a half years later, as the seventh biggest energy drinks company in the UK and stocked in every major retailer. The brand is a giant in its native Thailand, where it is a $2 billion listed company and the market leader by some distance from Red Bull. Its ambition, which Luck is attempted to facilitate, is to become number one in every market it operates in. Part of how it intends to do that is through sports sponsorship. On the conversational agenda: - The process of launching an FMCG product in the UK in an ultra-competitive sector, from product through to positioning through to marketing platforms; - Why Carabao has succeeded where the 700-plus energy drinks brands that tried to launch in the UK before it failed; - Aed Carabao, the 'Thai Bob Marley' who founded the product; - The nuts and bolts of Carabao's sponsorship deals with Chelsea and the EFL; - Why the Carabao Cup draws will remain a staple of the brand's impactful activation arsenal; - The three lessons Luck has learned about sports marketing since joining Carabao.

How many transgender people are there in the UK? The UK produces official statistics about all sorts of things – from economic indicators to demographic data. But it turns out there are no official figures for the number of transgender people in the UK. We explore what we do know, and what is harder to measure. Do 4% of the population drink nearly a third of the alcohol? According to recent headlines, just 4% of the population drink nearly a third of the alcohol sold in England. But can so few people really account for so much of the countries bar tab? We find out where the statistic came from. Bank of England’s Mark Carney says no to RPI At a hearing of the House of Lords’ economic affairs committee, the Governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, said it would be useful to have a single measure of inflation for consumers – and that CPI was a much better measure than RPI, which he said had “no merit”. We find out why with the FT’s Chris Giles. A statistical take on parkrun Every weekend over 1.5 million people run 5,000m on Saturday mornings for parkrun which is a free event that takes place all over the UK and indeed across the globe. Each runner is given a bar code, which is scanned at the end of the run and fed into a database showing them what place they came in their race– we take a look at which courses are the fastest, slowest, hardest and easiest. Testing for a cough correlation between snooker and smoking A listener emailed us this week to ask whether you can connect the number of coughs during snooker matches to the decline in smoking. We got counting to see if the theory was a trick shot - with help from John Virgo. Photo: Jimmy White Credit: Photo by Jamie McDonald/Getty Images
