Looking forward to We20 in Leicester on Saturday, meeting people who want to make the city a better place to live and work!

I’m taking this great BusinessWeek piece about creating jobs by supporting start-ups in the US to the meeting in the town hall, and hope to get the chance to discuss  its relevance to Leicester in beating the recession.
