SciTech 2011 Innovation and Enterprise

[Chris Sheridan]

SciTech 2011
Innovation UK
26 October 2011, the Barbican, London

Investment in science and engineering is crucial for economic growth. With public sector purse strings being tightened it could be essential that private sector partnerships are developed further and the UK makes itself attractive to investment in an increasingly competitive global marketplace.The UK must also get better at taking innovation into the marketplace. Encouragement for commercial lending and capital venture investment can help innovative businesses to thrive and forge a new economic future. Sustainable growth is dependent on our ability to generate new ideas and technologies. Can collaborative research and greater knowledge transfer deliver savings as well as successful outcomes or does scientific research need more radical reform?

At our 4th Annual SciTech: Innovation UK conference, we will be discussing how Britain can develop new technologies, nurture creativity and encourage world-beating products. Delegates will have the opportunity to engage with industry stakeholders, funding agencies & leading figures in science, engineering and technology. We will also be discussing other ways we can increase R&D investment and promote greater collaboration and knowledge transfer. The conference will outline how UK science and research can strive for excellence and be at the frontier of research and economic growth.
