Bath cafe day#1 of Cross Innovation

Thought I'd get my head around the new project in a good environment.
We go to Copenhagen in Jan for the admin briefing.
February in Brum for KO meeting.
We need to now get research done on the current state of X innovation in the 5 fields, incentives, internationalisation, culture based innovation ,brokerage and spatial aspects.
Knowledge base needed- reckon on the 'recipe' format we used in CM.
Back to Brum tomorrow
