Book Launch: The Ecosystem Mindset with Dan Knowles

Join us for the launch of "The Ecosystem Mindset: How to Build Your Innovation Ecosystem"

Fraser House | 2 October 2026 | 2:00pm – 4:00pm

You're invited to the official launch of The Ecosystem Mindset, a new book from Dan Knowles, Founder of Northern Reach, exploring how businesses and institutions can build resilient, connected innovation ecosystems.

Drawing on years of work with businesses, universities, and local authorities across the North, the book sets out eight interconnected steps — from ecosystem mapping to talent magnetism, funding strategy, and dual-use thinking — that turn scattered activity into a genuine innovation engine.

This is an opportunity for Local Authority decision makers and business leaders to hear directly from Dan on what drives sustainable regional growth, meet others shaping the innovation agenda across Lancashire and Cumbria, and take away a signed copy of the book.

Light refreshments provided. Spaces are limited — please confirm attendance in advance.
