The UK Innovation Corridor - Buildings and Beyond... |
|
In the latest of our series of events focused on enabling successful innovation focused clusters, we will examine what companies are looking for, in particular when setting up a first location on a new continent. With the help of professionals in life sciences and economic development from the North Carolina Research Triangle and our own London to Cambridge geography, we will look at what is needed above and beyond high quality real estate facilities.
|
|
The buildings are a given – but what do they need in them? What support do businesses need, and how will they evaluate the existing ecosystem, amenity, and connectivity? What do they look for in the surrounding area? How can the real estate, education, and public sectors work together to make their location a winner in the competition for innovation focused companies? |

UK Consul: Government & Prosperity, Head of UK Government Office

Reporting to the UK Consul General in Atlanta, the successful candidate will be the UK Government’s local representative in North Carolina. He/she will support the UK’s economic, commercial and political relationship with North Carolina. He/she will develop business links and scientific research collaboration, as well as promoting public policy interests and the UK’s values. The successful candidate will work closely with other UK Government colleagues across the US network, and in particular from the Department of International Trade (DIT), Science and Innovation network, the policy teams in the Embassy in Washington DC, as well as from the Politics, Press and Public Affairs (PPPA) sections.

Climate Commitments Could be the Way to Unlock Trade Talks
Notes from BAB CEO Duncan Edwards
A month into the new year and the political drama that we have become accustomed to hasn’t abated. I won’t add to the comment that BAB made on January 6th other than to say that the US processes designed to ensure a peaceful transfer of power prevailed, as we thought they would, and a new administration is getting its program underway.
