\u2022 Fresh ideas and innovative thinking:<\/b>\u00a0Nurturing cutting-edge and disruptive ideas and developing the foresight to identify and shape key areas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u2022 Grounding in expertise and evidence:<\/b>\u00a0Providing a foundation for data-, evidence-, fact- and research-based public-private cooperation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
