His role is also to liaise with universities, science units and innovation centres and to work with professional, advisors, venture capitalists and Regional Development Agencies to identify opportunities for new business. Andy will speak on the importance of the knowledge economy to the UK, the impact of Globalisation and an insight into the technologies in propositions he has reviewed with perhaps a glimpse into the future based on the technologies around now.
