“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. Our strong relationship with government and with national agencies including Innovate UK, around this agenda makes it fitting that a new regional action plan co-designed with Innovate will be launched at the summit.”
“I’m sure that both the summit and action plan will add real momentum and a sharper focus to our shared agenda for inclusive, sustainable and innovative growth.”
