The SCY Innovation Team have been building a map of innovative organisations working within the Yorkshire area as part of the ongoing Innovate York programme. This map has been built using Google Maps: My Places.

There were some steps in the right direction announced by George Osbourne last week when he delivered the 2013 budget, a few pin points of light in the darkness of austerity, but much more needs to happen to secure the UK's place in the world as as cradle for great ideas that actually go somewhere!
Despite the good news that the government intend to bolster the SBRI (Small Business Research Initiative) scheme from £40m in 2012-13 to over £200m in 2014-15, which will provide opportunities for Micro-businesses and SMEs to pitch to solve some of the more tricky government and MoD problems.
