I agree that we dont want to mimic Silicon Valley (we havent got the right weather for a start) but there are definitely lessons to be learnt. In fact, I think its true to say that those in the US were pretty impressed by the commitment to clean technologies being made in the UK and the way that regulation is driving innovation. cheers Mike,

Personally I think no bad thing in the blogosphere. But we are what we are. Our success will be based on developing our sense of self and our communities and relationships - not by trying to ape something that has worked for some people in some places. You can't change one culture for another. We have to learn to work with, and develop, what we have got. Some good stuff here – and some horribly sweeping generalisations.
