About the debate
Everyone talks about innovation – but innovation has to be more than a buzzword. It is the lifeblood of science and technology.
In a tough economic climate, innovation cannot be sacrificed. Nor, in these environmentally aware times, should it come at the expense of sustainability. There is an urgent need to focus on how best to promote and nurture innovation – today and in the future.
Bringing together influential and respected people from the worlds of science, technology, medicine, engineering education, government, industry and media, The Astellas Innovation Debate engages with the theme of scientific innovation in Britain and the world today.

About the venue
The Astellas Innovation Debate was held in central London at The Royal Society, which is a self-governing Fellowship of many of the world’s most distinguished scientists, drawn from all areas of science, engineering and medicine.
The Society’s fundamental purpose, as it has been since its foundation in 1660, is to recognise, promote, and support excellence in science and to encourage the development and use of science for the benefit of humanity. Situated in a Grade 1 listed building in London SW1, near St James’s Park, The Royal Society has hosted and organised some of the most important events in the scientific world.
