Now in its second year, Partners4Innovation, the business research, knowledge transfer and exhibition event, is organised by the University's Knowledge Exchange and will take place on Thursday 1 May 2008, at the Sunley Management Centre, Park Campus.
This full day event is expected to attract around 150 business visitors and exhibitors from across the county and beyond, and this year will be based around themes of innovation in design and technology.
Sir Richard will use the 2008 event to highlight his experiences and success at Dyson over the last 12 years. During his time at Dyson Sir Richard has helped oversee a turnover increase from £12 million to £700 million. His question and answer session at Partners4Innovation 2008 will focus on the key subjects of leadership, product design, technology, organisations, management structures and successfully securing international trade.
As well as the interview with Sir Richard, Partners4Innovation will feature a full variety of business seminars, pre-arranged one-to-one networking sessions throughout the day, and a display area with over 30 exhibitors featuring a range of companies from across the county, as well as several international participants.
