At the Technology Strategy Board (TSB) we invest millions of pounds a year to promote and enable innovation in the UK. But the world is changing fast, and we believe that to keep the UK economy competitive in the long term, we need to put sustainability at its heart.

So now we need your help. 

We’ve been working with leading sustainability non-profit Forum for the Future to build a framework for a sustainable economy. We now want to turn this complex content into an intuitive and useful digital tool that will help UK businesses innovate better, and the TSB to make better investment decisions.

In this Digital Shoreditch Openhouse session, we are throwing out this content to your creativity. The best ideas will be taken forward by the TSB to build the tool in 2012.

Who are we looking for?

• Digital professionals who can bring a creative approach to this project. We want a mix, so coders, creatives, business minds - all digital types are welcome!

What will you get out of it?

• Understanding and insight into sustainability trends and issues
• Exposure to Technology Strategy Board and Forum for the Future’s people and networks 
• Networking opportunities with your peers in the digital community
• Profile for the best ideas
• Fun – drinks, food and fun provided! 

This session will be run under a ‘creative commons’ ethos, so be prepared to share and collaborate. There will time & drinks after the session for networking!
