Comments
@eetgerink: Mariana Mazzucato: this is difficult both for government and business, but so much to the point.
@Frank Eetgerink: Fireworks! Fresh thinking, not boxed by modern traditional thinking.
@Janet Mitchell - MCSQUARED: Fantastic insight into how Richard Reed and the Innocent Drinks team started and ran their business! Very inspiring!
@Gynna Brightside: Great agenda and great streaming!
@Surj: which is all great re:catapault and lovely comment on Scotland but conveniently overlooking Wales??
@Faris Mubarek of Securedtech: The opening speach from Iain and Phil Smith were highly inspirational and gave details of innovate UK input into advancing technology and what it's used for.
@Kerry Frost: What is Innovate UK and the rest doing to prevent intellectual property escaping from the UK's creative businesses?
@Linda Forbes: Not only should we be seeking to attract young people to innovate but encourage older people with transferable skills and ideas to become involved. Moving from one sector to another can be difficult and may require re-training but much talent is wasted in writing people off on age-only basis.
@Martin Atkinson @VBS_Ltd: Great facility for those unable to attend in person - thanks!
@Tony Jackson: Looking to watch some of these keynotes - a great agenda
