Innovation for Business Success - Carnegie Conference Centre
Event Date: 24/3/2010

Carnegie Conference Centre,
Dunfermline, KY11 8DY
It is recognised that to enhance Scotland's economic development, greater business innovation will be essential to achieve increased productivity and growth. In this current economic climate, the pressure is on all businesses to work harder and longer to ensure survival. This effectively means that sometimes businesses isolate themselves from opportunities that may be on their own doorstop.
Knowledge and innovation are significant driving forces behind economic growth and can provide business with the stimulus to create new products and services, enter new markets and ultimately stay ahead of the competition.
You are invited by the Knowledge Transfer Group, as part of the Fife Economy Partnership - to attend this exciting seminar focusing on business innovation and new practice. The Knowledge Transfer Group consists of Fife Council Development Services, Scottish Enterprise, St Andrews University; Carnegie College, Elmwood College and Adam Smith College.
The Innovation for Business Success Seminar provides an excellent event to identify and share new initiatives and practices, to learn about potential funding opportunities and sources, and to network within a broad range of organisations.
