Dr Jeremy Davenport

Jeremy’s career has spanned the public and private sectors working as an economist, manager and researcher. Over the last 12 years his roles have centred on knowledge exchange across the creative industries, facilitating and sustaining relationships between academics, businesses, public and third sector organisations in support of innovation in product, service and method. Facilitating and enabling knowledge transfer has been the thread throughout his professional life, both internationally and in supporting the creation and development of the Knowledge Transfer Network for the Creative Industries (Innovate UK). Most recently, Jeremy completed his PhD at Lancaster University, exploring the theory and practice of knowledge exchange and focusing on understanding complex collaborations at the interface between the Arts, Humanities and the wider creative economy.
