Towards an innovation nation 77KB
Description
Last summer, the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS) faced a significant challenge: it was a new department, charged with a wholly new responsibility, much of which depended on exerting influence across Whitehall.

The Innovation Nation White Paper demonstrates intellectual leadership, presents an ambitious new direction for UK innovation policy and lays out how the UK will keep track of its performance against this new framework.
Carrying through the implications of its analysis to their full extent will be challenging for DIUS if it remains traditionally structured, and constant effort will be required to remain at the cutting edge of innovation policy.
