10th Issue- The Times Super North

We may be number two on the Global Innovation Index after Switzerland, but we are 20 places lower down in the international league table when it comes to converting this into real wealth. Innovation and its continuing importance to the region in terms of the Northern Powerhouse initiative is the theme you will find aired in this issue, discussing how to give new ideas a commercial break, followed by articles on breakthroughs in the insurance distribution sector and in rail.
