The Futures Project Podcast
Innovation Fest
This special insight episode comes from the PC/LSE Innovation Festival, a partnership between Pine Crest School, Fort Lauderdale, and LSE Generate, the Entrepreneurship Hub at the London School of Economics.
At the start of January 2025, we came together in Fort Lauderdale, South Florida, for a series of bootcamps, workshops, keynotes and conversations around social entrepreneurship, innovation for change, social impact, artificial intelligence, the power of collaboration, and more. We recorded this live from the festival, speaking to students, teachers and nearby Miami-based LSE alumni. Expect insights on the future of education, business, AI, innovation, and to be inspired by some very passionate young people!
