Jodie Eastwood is CEO of London's Knowledge Quarter, the innovation district centred around King's Cross, Euston and Bloomsbury, where over 100 academic, cultural and research organisations share a one-mile radius. The area has become a global hub for AI and frontier tech — home to OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Meta, Anthropic and Wayve, with OpenAI establishing its largest research hub outside the US. With 25 years across academia, culture and innovation policy, Jodie is one of London's leading voices on what happens when world-class research, culture and emerging technology share the same neighbourhood.
