You could make the case that getting the best expertise from the private and state sector to work together (minus petty politics) to clearly defined objectives is a critical success factor. It was the model for the vaccine production and distribution, & the 2012 olympics. https://t.co/RVSePX3awm

@DanielKorski Assuming no further significant clinical trials needed. And even better if next set of vaccines could be administered orally, and so require less manpower.
U.K. vaccine procurement is a great example of the best of private and public sector know-how working to a clearly defined objective, and achieving outstanding results in six short months. The nation owes Kate Bingham a huge debt of gratitude. Damehood is an excellent idea! https://t.co/HXHvQr1XG2
@Will_Tanner @DanielKorski @FT The Hut Group (Manchester based) raised £1.9bn in capital from public markets. Oxford spin-outs raised a record £1bn last year. Evidence suggests R&D funding needs better geographical coverage + patient capital. Is there data on VCs not funding businesses outside London & SE
@Will_Tanner @DanielKorski @FT Capital, ideas and people are borderless when it comes to science & tech. But the U.K. is doing well in developing regional centres of excellence. Great tech in Manchester, Agritech in East Anglia, deep science from Oxford where a spin out developed the vaccine.

Amazing statistic in Larry Fink’s letter to CEOs. From Jan through to Nov 2020, investors invested $288bn globally in sustainable assets, a 96% increase over the whole of 2019. The ESG transition is here to stay, and in many cases investors are moving ahead of the politics.
The best of America in the shop window today, as history is made. Inspirational. https://t.co/4GDsNV6VOQ
