New paper with @MazzucatoM & Sion Williams-Elyesil: the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine shows public-private partnerships are enhanced by conditionalities that link funding to public value. Key conditions for success include mission clarity, government capability & trust.
The lessons learned from COVID-19 matter โ€” and can inform outcomes-oriented industrial strategy for the future. In a new paper, @TomStratton, Sion Williams-Eliyesil and I explore how the development of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine provides a framework for future proactive state intervention, driving public value across sectors.

The U.K.โ€™s Creative Industries are unique in representing an industrial strength and an essential part of communitiesโ€™ social fabric. But they need to be nurtured. Sir Nick references Creative Corridors, an initiative involving @theRSAorg and partners, as one example of how.

The situation in Gaza is unbelievably dire. People are queuing for food and water. As @AlonLeeGreen points out, this will not grant Israel security. The citizens of Gaza are not Hamas and should have the right to access basic needs.
