In today’s modern world, success is determined by our ability to come up with unique, smart and innovative ideas. It has become the key economic driver for cities and regions as they increasingly compete with other places for attention, investment, visitors and talent.
Newcastle City Council recently released their 2030 strategic plan to become a Smart and Innovation City to help Newcastle develop a healthy, diverse, creative and resilient economy.
But, how do you create a culture of new ideas? How do you attract smart people? How do you turn an Old World City into one the World’s Smartest Cities?
On June 29 2011, The Lunaticks Society of Newcastle will host some of the most creative minds in Newcastle from business leaders to content producers for an evening of thought provocative discussion, collaboration and lots of smart ideas on how to construct a Smart and Innovative City.
