Report of the Executive Director for Innovation and Growth.

The Committee noted the report of the Executive Director Innovation and Growth (IG) summarising the activity taking place across IG in relation to cyber and economic crime, as well as cross-team working between IG and the City of London Police (CoLP) since the Committee last convened in May 2023. 

Members expressed support for the activity, and congratulated IG and the executive on the progress made.

A Member commented that the quality of the panel discussion would benefit from some improvement. In response to a question on how many companies were taking part in the next showcase, the meeting heard that two companies would be describing their journey with two further companies on the panel, and that pre-meetings were scheduled in order to manage the events. 

In response to a question on what communication was planned to highlight the outcomes of the exercise, the meeting heard that a range of channels would be used to highlight outcomes.
