The opening of the new building has allowed us a unique opportunity to combine this occasion with an event to showcase the best of innovation in the region. We are thrilled to be able to welcome The Rt Hon Sir Vince Cable to open our new building and inspire us with his keynote address.”

The former secretary of state for business, innovation and skills is a frequent speaker at business conferences with several (pro-bono) directorships.
