Guests included: Simon McNamara , group CAO of NatWest, Damian Collins MP, Tugce Bulut, CEO of Streetbees, Nathan Gralton, MD of Scopesuite, Rob O’Donovan, CEO of Charlie HR, Jesse Lozano, CEO of Pi-Top, Charles Arthur, former tech editor for The Guardian and Independent, Alan Mak MP, Sarah Drinkwater, head of Campus London for Google, Rory Cellen-Jones, BBC technology correspondent, Kevin Hanley, director of innovation for NatWest, Leigh Renders, Senior Public Affairs Manager for NatWest and Lesley Smith, UK Director of Public Policy for Amazon. Fraser Nelson chaired the discussion. A podcast was recorded on the same day, which can be played above.
NatWest recently opened its own innovation centre, Open Experience, at its HQ at Gogarburn in Edinburgh and the bank is set to replicate this hub in London next month.
