ABOUT HARPREET KAUR

I am a dynamic strategic connector, ecosystem builder, equity advocate and speaker at the intersection of creativity, innovation, and social change. My 20+ years of international cross-sector experience, informed by a global, socio-political lens drive inclusive growth and positive societal impact. My recent role coordinating a major AI Accelerator deeply embedded me in the tech ecosystem, where I successfully drove over £3.2 million in funding for AI startups. This builds on a career shaping inclusive programmes, growing strategic partnerships, and designing thriving ecosystems across arts, culture, community development, and policy. A published writer and art critic for platforms like Huffington Post and contemporary arts magazines, with two degrees, I excel at crafting nuanced communications, robust reports, and engaging digital content. My work consistently applies a lens of social justice, future-thinking, and cross-sector collaboration on national and international projects. I am driven by a passion for cultivating global, cosmopolitan networks and contributing to organisations that think and work on a worldwide scale, including think tanks and global tech/cultural innovation bodies.
