Lunch lecture: Is it possible to make innovation happen?

In this talk, questions around how innovation can be encouraged within particular areas will be raised. Threads spun from the project Fostering Innovation Ecosystems in Rural areas will be woven to attempt to give practical answers to the question: What can we do to encourage innovation in our local communities?
