The Campaign will be hosting an activation in Boston, taking place between 12-14th February 2025. Activity will coincide with the 2025 AGM of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The mission is supported by the UK Consulate General in Boston and will align with a major delegation led by The Royal Society Foreign Secretary, Professor Sir Mark Walport and Charlotte Dean, Executive Chair of EPSRC.
Mission Focus:
- Our investment promotion priorities are Midlands Mindforge (Venture Capital) and Health and Life Sciences. We will be engaging AAAS delegates, the UK CG Boston VC contacts and Midlands alumni in these sectors living and working in Boston/MA.
- Our thought-leadership and positioning proposition is
- the distinctiveness of what we’re doing together as a collaboration
- universities as knowledge diplomacy actors at the sub-national level – serving as innovation bridges between places/ regions/ cities.
- The Campaign now has full sector pages updated online and will soon have a printed prospectus available for distribution
