A new innovation eco-system is needed for Britain - that is the message delivered by guest panellists at the launch of Innovation Island, an Economist conference, sponsored by Grant Thornton.
Distinguished panellists, from industrial and research disciplines throughout the United Kingdom, gathered to discuss whether the UK remains an innovative nation. The answer is ‘Yes’, Britain is building on a strong innovative heritage, but it needs to address some persisting weaknesses if it is to deliver economic growth and a prosperous future.
