“The Glasgow City Region is an exciting and dynamic attractor for local innovation talent and for global investors, a place which draws on its exiting sectoral strengths while nurturing an environment of collaboration, creativity and inventiveness. With a highly-skilled population, entrepreneurial businesses and partnerships between world-leading learning institutions and the public and private sectors, we’re increasingly competing on a global stage. The innovation summit will be crucial in bringing together people and institutions to renew connections, engage in conversations and discover new opportunities.”
