The UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP) was founded by Professor Mariana Mazzucato, author of the highly-acclaimedÌýThe Entrepreneurial State: debunking public vs. private sector myths.

IIPP aims to develop a path-breaking framework for creating, nurturing and evaluating public value in order to achieve economic growth that is more innovation-led, inclusive and sustainable.

IIPP will lead a debate about the direction of economic growth and governments’ use of mission-oriented policies to confront the world’s most urgent challenges: from climate change to inequality and the problems facing ageing societies. Our work will feed into policies on innovation, financial reform, institutional change and sustainable development.IIPP will systematically rethink how public value is created, nurtured and evaluated.ÌýRead more aboutÌýIIPP.Ìý
