Welcome to the Future Towns Innovation Hub.
A team that creates a one-stop-shop for place innovation, in pursuit of happy, healthy, prosperous places.
We leverage world-class expertise to tackle complex problems and deliver a joined-up place innovation journey.

We believe that state of the art thinking, technology and solutions can be inaccessible to organisations wanting to innovate, therefore through partnering with you, we are committed to delivering:
- A guided/facilitated process to make innovation more accessible
- Connecting and collaborating across disciplines and sectors
- Independent advice to de-risk innovation and investment decisions through robust evaluation
- Access to translational pathways and partnerships to deliver real-world value and impact
