About this episode

The episode discusses how innovation is driven by organizational structure and leadership rather than funding, featuring insights from Andre Loeskrug Petri.

Innovation isn’t about funding, it’s about how organisations are built and led. Progress comes from cutting bureaucracy, empowering mission-led teams, and asking the right questions to unlock bold breakthroughs. This week, Dave, Esmee and Rob are joined again by André Loesekrug-Pietri, Chair and Scientific Director of the Joint European Disruptive Initiative (JEDI, Europe’s ARPA) to explore how Europe can turn moonshot ambitions into reality by building the right people, culture and operating models for future-shaping organisations.
