Peter Mandelson (sorry, Lord Mandelson) wants the RDAs to spend our money: from regen.net, "the most authoritative and up-to-date website for regeneration professionals."
RDAs must boost growth sectors of economy
January 8 2009
Quote:
"'The next industrial revolution will, once again, be driven by the regions, just as Britain's first industrial revolution was,' Lord Mandelson said.
He added: 'It won't be cotton, but it will be bioscience, or green tech, or precision engineering or creative industries. Industrial activism has to be built on precise regional knowledge of what is needed in terms of infrastructure, investment and training.'"
I don't know about the bioscience or precision engineering bit, but green tech and creative industries would probably get on very well here in Glastonbury. Is SWRDA listening?
