The inaugural edition of InnoFrugal UK, the UK’s first conference dedicated to the topic of Frugal Innovation, was hosted by Cambridge Judge Business School on 27 March 2018. The Business School partnered with Ignitho Technologies and The Nordic Frugal Innovation Society to present the event.
The conference, which built on earlier successful editions of the event in Nordic countries, included presentations by Jaideep Prabhu, Professor of Marketing at Cambridge Judge; Dr Khaled Soufani, Director of the Circular Economy Centre at Cambridge Judge; and Eben Upton (EMBA 2009), Founder and CEO of micro-computer maker Raspberry Pi.
During the conference, we asked some participants to share their thoughts about the conference, frugal innovation and circular economy principles.
