Innovation Report - "Competing in the Global Economy: the Innovation Challenge."

By the Department of Trade and Industry

The Innovation Report was published on 17 December 2003, following wide consultation with stakeholders, Ministers and other Government Departments.

The Report looks at the contribution that innovation can make to driving up UK productivity and to achieving the vision of the UK as a key knowledge hub in the global economy. Building on progress made in previous innovation-focussed white papers it proposes action on those policies that will encourage UK businesses to increase their investment in new products and services with the aim of continuously increasing the value added. An online update on progress of implementing the Innovation Report was published in February 2005.
