Written by Bryan Glick

Computing, 16 Jun 2005

The second debate in Computing's Innovation Nation? campaign brought together a panel of experts to discuss corporate attitudes to innovation.

The panel believes the UK's successes need to be more widely recognised and supported, and say better collaboration and a global approach are vital for innovative businesses.

The campaign, in partnership with Intellect, the hi-tech trade association, aims to identify the key steps to ensuring the UK is able to innovatively exploit technology for social and economic gain.
