Dr. Mariana Mazzucato is one of the leading economists of our day. In an era where trade barriers are a growing feature of international economics, firms and nations alike need to reconsider how to compete and how to find opportunities for their futures. Mariana helps reshape how policymakers, business leaders and other stakeholders understand innovation, rethink economic growth, and the role of the state in driving sustainable prosperity. She is the Founding Director of the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP) at University College London where she leads a team of sixty experts on how organisations can drive mission-orientated innovation.

Mariana has written multiple acclaimed books including The Entrepreneurial State, The Value of Everything, and Mission Economy.

Mariana’s ideas have moved into the highest levels of government and international institutions. As a key advisor to the European Commission, she played a critical role in shaping the EU’s Green Deal and industrial strategy, advocating for mission-orientated policies to drive sustainable growth. She worked closely with the United Nations to rethink economic development and led WHO’s Council on the Economics of Health for All emphasising the need for public investment in health systems. She has collaborated with Governments in Brazil and South Africa to design innovation-driven policies for inclusive economic growth.

Mariana has also worked with many Fortune 500 firms globally to help them be more purpose-driven and to elevate their strategy and innovation thinking.
