Innovation has changed dramatically since the model of 'Big Science' in the mid-20th century. Globalisation, new technologies and growth in the service sectors are all combining to quicken the pace of change

The matter is now urgent. An increasingly competitive global economy and the failure of traditional approaches to meet pressing social challenges, mean that innovation is now a necessity, not a luxury.
