Gwent Regional Innovation Coordination Hub

The Gwent Regional Innovation Coordination Hub, a collaborative initiative aims to bring together stakeholders from across the Gwent region to drive and coordinate innovation, collaboration, and change. Innovation has never been more critical in a world where the public sector faces unprecedented challenges. We seek to inspire people to engage and promote the importance of positive disruption, especially in health and social care. At the heart of the Gwent Regional Innovation Coordination Hub is a commitment to working across borders and boundaries to tackle the challenges facing the public sector. By bringing together stakeholders from different organisations, sectors, and backgrounds, we can unlock new ideas, partnerships, and opportunities for innovation and change. We understand that innovation can be challenging, but it is essential for the future of the public sector in the Gwent region.
