Launch of the Buckingham Enterprise & Innovation Unit

Thursday evening last week, I attended this launch to help boost enterprise and innovation in our Town and beyond. We were treated to several keynote presentations including one by Richard Harrington, CEO of the Buckinghamshire and Thames Valley Local Enterprise Partnership. He talked much about the 'Oxford Cambridge Arc' and the central role that the new Unit will have in supporting these developments.

I did suggest that the Arc ought to be renamed the 'Buckingham Bow', poised to send arrows of innovation and enterprise into the future. (The new name may or may not catch on!)

As always it was great to meet some very interesting people including a couple of chaps who have created an App that assists students from all around the world access bursaries and other funds to enable them to study. How clever is that!
