Big Potatoes
Big Potatoes is associated with the libertarian LM network and is the originator of the pro-growth London Manifesto for Innovation. Big Potatoes describes the Manifesto as "a contribution to improving the climate for innovation globally".[1]
The Manifesto authors are: Nico Macdonald, Alan Patrick, Martyn Perks, Mitchell Sava, James Woudhuysen and Norman Lewis.[2][3]
On 27 April 2010, the R&D Society and the authors of BIG POTATOES: The London Manifesto for Innovation, in association with EPOCH, organised an eve-of-election event on "innovation and the future of the UK", on the grounds that "Despite its importance to our economic future, innovation has largely been overlooked since the credit crunch and is being largely ignored in the UK General Election."[4]
Speakers were:[5]
- Eliot Forster, CEO, Solace Pharmaceuticals
- Munira Mirza, advisor for arts and culture to London Mayor
- Stefan Stern, management columnist, Financial Times
- James Wilsdon, Director of the Science Policy Centre, the Royal Society
