About us

The work of the UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose(IIPP) is influencing global policy decisions and creating new policy collaborations to deliver public value-driven innovations. IIPP is founded and directed by Mariana Mazzucato, who holds the Chair in the Economics of Innovation and Public Value.
