SciTech 2011 Innovation and Enterprise

[Chris Sheridan]

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

The UK has a rich history of innovation and scientific excellence. However we have often struggled to take full advantage of innovative ideas and the knowledge that such research generates. We must get better at taking innovation into the marketplace as UK science can underpin economic growth. How can we increase R&D investment and promote greater collaboration and knowledge transfer? Given the financial challenges facing many institutions how do can we get more for less from our research base? Are we about to fall behind our global competitors or are there new opportunities to turn science into commerce?

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. The conference will outline how UK science and research can strive for excellence and be at the frontier of research and economic growth. Delegates will have an opputunity to discover the latest and some of the most successful science, engineering and technology projects and equipment being developed in the UK at the moment.
