Innovate to succeed

Innovation is essential for long term sucess.

The most successful businesses invest in innovation. Businesses that develop new products and services and improve their business practices are twice as likely to increase their turnover than those that do not. The London Development Agency and the innovation support services they fund, recognise innovation as key to business success.

Innovation encourages and enables greater competitiveness, creativity and enterprise.

Understanding your customer's needs and aspirations and the markets you serve is essential. Another key ingrediant for success is investment; in design, research and development.

We feel that a community and network for innovation is vital. A network that links business support services, funding, environmental awareness, energy efficiency and reserach. Links between business and universities is a core element for the growth and development of London’s economy.

How does your business keep up with technology advances and threats from local and global competition?

In today's chaotic business landscape, standing still is not a viable option. Small, incremental change is no longer enough – radical change is essential to stay one step ahead of the competion.

"The new Britain will be built on skills, science and enterprise - backing the scientist and inventor, rewarding the entrepreneur, challenging all of us to improve our skills: these are the best means to raising our national game and driving forward productivity and prosperity."
Chancellor Gordon Brown Mansion House Speech June 2002
