Innovation is considered to be the engine for business and regional growth. It is the key to improved productivity, market differentiation and ultimately profitability and prosperity. However, the notion of innovation is often misunderstood.
Applying innovation successfully often lacks access to the right knowledge, tools and support. Developing innovation capability and capacity is fundamental to Scotland and the rest of the United Kingdom. That’s why the Institute of Innovation and Knowledge Exchange (IKE) is establishing national bases around the UK and has selected the City of Glasgow College as its Scottish home.
Roy Gardner, Executive Director for Corporate Development and Innovation said: “I am delighted that City of Glasgow College has been chosen to host the Scottish Institute for Innovation and Knowledge Exchange.
He added “This partnership further reinforces the College’s position as a global leader in technical and professional education and builds upon our culture of excellence through innovation. Scottish IKE is a natural extension of our Investor in Innovations that benchmarked our innovation capability with global leading-edge organisations.”
