At Science and Innovation 2010 join over 20 expert speakers, carefully selected suppliers and over 300 delegates from across the UK to discuss next steps for key strategies designed to ensure that Science and Innovation UK is positioned at the forefront of the new world knowledge economy.
At the start of a new decade, Britain is emerging from the largest global financial crisis for almost a century with our economy facing a greatly increased competitive challenge from the emerging high-tech economies of the Far East, such as China and India. To prosper, Britain needs to ensure that the right policies and investment in skills, infrastructure, innovation and science and research are in place to ensure that the British economy achieves sustainable long-term growth.
Investing in skills is a vital part of the government’s plan for high-tech, low-carbon driven growth. Skilled people are more innovative, more productive, and build stronger businesses needed for the UK to succeed in a globalised knowledge economy.
Science and Innovation 2010 will examine current and future policy in close detail. Delegates will explore how we can ensure economic growth through the commercialisation of our research and science base and continue in the drive towards a low carbon economy. That will create both business and employment opportunities
