New Normal

"The UK as a whole has four of the world's top six universities, and they typically spin out around 200 companies a year. Whilst London is best defined as a global talent hub, it can also be described as the world's largest science park, with financial and legal advice close at hand."

(Baroness Valentine, in the occasion of the Nanotechnology Knowledge Transfer Network (NanoKTN) and UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) in the London Hilton Park Lane, Nov 2009)

The gloomy time will pass, and good times will come back. This much is certain, when we finally enter the post crisis period, the business and economic context will not have returned to pre crisis context. The New Normal business scene will have changed. The result will be an environment that while different from the past, is no less rich in possibilities for those who are intelligently prepared. (Ian Davis)
