The entrepreneurial state as a welfare state

An international panel discuss ways to further strengthen the welfare/innovation relationship, for instance, how welfare provision can support recipients to become creators and entrepreneurs, and the role of local government and the voluntary sector in delivering public services. They explore how specific welfare practices and institutions can drive mission-based innovation policy. Could Universal Basic Income, for instance, help to combat climate change? Can pension funds become a source of long-term investment in public value? What models of care will deliver the services required in an ageing society while promoting innovation at the organisational level with the potential for spillover to other sectors?
