Over the past few months, Connected Places Catapult and PA Consulting have been implementing the UK-South Korea Innovation Twins project and engaging with Belfast and Sejong in South Korea to help them work with their innovation ecosystem and shape the innovations of tomorrow.

As city centres come back to life following the pandemic, there is an ambition for City Centres to become vibrant and healthy places that promotes quality of life and wellbeing.
