Private Capital and Innovation Forum: Exploring How Private Capital Can Support Innovation to Save People and the Planet

We invite you to join a focused gathering of family offices, private capital leaders, philanthropists and innovators to explore how private capital can drive meaningful innovation — whether through philanthropy, venture philanthropy, venture.

​Held at the Mathematical Institute during Oxford Tech Week, the session will begin with a discussion on the different ways private capital can support innovation. This will be followed by eight TED‑style talks from scientists presenting their latest research: four focused on saving or improving the health of the planet, and four focused on saving or improving the health of people.
