British Design Innovation Lauds HSBC Report
June 3, 2009 | Levent OZLER
British Design Innovation (BDI), the influential trade body representing many of the top 15% of strategic design firms adding most value to industry, has responded positively to today's publication of The Future of Business: The Changing Face of Business in 21st Century Britain by HSBC Commercial Bank.
The report predicts the rise of innovation, technology and wireless connectivity in regional economic hotspots and "supercities" such as Brighton, Leeds, Liverpool, London and Newcastle over the next 20 years.
These supercities and regions will derive their status, income and prestige from new economic income streams such as biotech, stem cell research, innovation, creative industries, games development and even alternative work practices and business models.
"As the head of an organisation representing many of the world's top strategic designers in our £4.2 billion national design industry, it was particularly gratifying to note that world-class creative industries came top, and innovation third, when respondents were asked what UK business stands for in the report," said Maxine J Horn, BDI's CEO.
"World-class is what Britain's design innovation industry is, and what BDI members are."
