The Future of Innovation
COVID-19 has accelerated existing trends (eg what we buy, where, how and when) and spurred an explosion of creativity and innovation among start-ups and new ventures, from biotech and agri-food to the digital space. However, it has also amplified the geopolitical and trade tensions and economic uncertainties that were already underway.
