The Brighton Paradox: SUPERFUSION

In this episode, we look at how the city about which a major study coined a phrase, articulating the unique opportunity for economic growth when arts and tech work together - is also the city that rarely talks about it and many haven't heard about it And we try to answer the following questions:

Can, and should, Brighton & Hove business try and scale?
What is superfusion, and what does it say about Brighton?
Have incubators and co-working spaces changed the potential in the city?
Is Brighton & Hove at its best when it's focused on mad ideas?
