'It was a fantastic day and we were really pleased to be a part of it,' said Sarah De'Lacy, Incubation Director of SET Squared. 'Innovation and growth in business is something that is central to our work at the Park with SETsquared and the ISIC-Surrey, so these were great opportunities to showcase the hard work that we've done and the passion we have for moving the UK economy forward through the Science Park model.' SETsquared and ISIC also attended Innovate 2011, a leading networking conference to promote growth in businesses for the future. Hosted by the Technology Strategy Board, the event gives businesses the chance to meet other businesses, academia and Government bodies to help address challenge led and technology innovation.
