Approval of the recommendations set out in the report will be sought from the Policy and Resources Committee on 16September 2021.

The Committee received a report of the Executive Director, Innovation and Growth presenting the names of the final two external Members of the Innovation and Growth Advisory Board (IGAB) for confirmation, and a proposed name change for the Innovation and Growth Advisory Board (IGAB). It was noted that these matters would be considered, for approval, by the Policy and Resources Committee on 16 September 2021.

In response to a query about access to reports and minutes associated with the meetings of the IGAB, the Chairman explained that the Advisory Board -effectively an informal working group- would undertake its work in private thus enabling the membership, of which there were a number of external stakeholders, to have restricted conversations.

Resolved:- That the report be noted.
