In addition to its health impacts, the COVID-19 pandemic has widely disrupted economic activity. This webinar will explore the role of technology, research and innovation in the recovery from COVID-19 as well as the “new normal” as societies start to slowly lift restrictions.
What will return to normal and what will change permanently? What is the role of the state, individual companies, and academia in the recovery of the society? At the event we eill hear from two experts, Ms Carole Mundell, Chief International Science Envoy, UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, and Mr Martti Hetemäki, professor of practice at the Helsinki Graduate School of Economics.
The event will be co-hosted by H.E. Mr Tom Dodd, Her Majesty’s Ambassador to the Republic of Finland, and moderated by Ms Susanna Korpivaara, Chair of the Finnish-British Trade Association.
