I was wondering about the task force ...Yes Paraic, <br />I was wondering about the task force too...<br /><a href="http://www.taoiseach.gov.ie/eng/Innovation_Taskforce/Frequently_Asked_Questions/" rel="nofollow">FAQ</a><br /><i>"They include high profile figures with global experience in international companies who are voluntarily giving of their time because they are interested in assisting in shaping Ireland’s economic future and entrepreneurs who have recently established and grown successful start-up companies.<br /><br />There are 14 members from industry and it is anticipated that they will provide major input into the development of new proposals in the smaller working groups.<br /><br />Given the significant public spend on R&D, the need to ensure that spend results in commercialisation and the importance of providing an appropriate stream of graduates, there is also representation from the higher-education sector. There are also four presidents from the higher-education sector, two of which, will have direct input in relation to the further development of the TCD-UCD alliance."</i><br /><br />Thanks Chris for<br />the innovation introduction today (Digital Hub)<br />.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04944677021417554218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671796277525081500.post-54872818208964122952009-10-20T12:44:43.087+01:002009-10-20T12:44:43.087+01:00@Paraic

Are there no representatives of indigenous entrepreneurs or innovators in industry on the Taskforce (other than your good self) or was this an unusual session of the Taskforce?Paraic Hegartynoreply@blogger.com
