The purpose of this round-up report is to provide an overview of the 2023 MOIN Gathering, part of the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP)’s festival ‘The Entrepreneurial State 2.0 - Rethinking the State in the 21st Century’, including key themes and questions from the contemporary discussions on the role of government in tackling humanity’s grand challenges.

The gathering explored the market-shaping capacities and capabilities that governments globally are developing to tackle ‘wicked’ problems, such as the implementation of industrial policy to meet climate goals, experimentation with new organisational and institutional design within government, and the development of new instruments and tools to rethink how governments can effectively respond to such challenges. With learnings from tackling the pandemic fresh in minds, the gathering presented a timely opportunity for reflection and exchange.
