Innovation ignition

22 March 2011

Scottish people have a long history of innovation. You name it, we invented it. Yes, everything (almost). Admittedly, it’s been a while since we gave the world anything that could support such outlandish claims of talent (Kenny Dalglish excepted) but the Scottish Institute for Enterprise has its fair share of modern day success stories among the new student businesses and social enterprises it helps, including the genuinely innovative Pufferfish.

We’ve helped SIE encourage young people to make their ideas a reality for a number of years now and what you see here is a selection of illustrations and collateral we created for the latest campaign promoting their annual summit.

While we’re on the vast subject of Scottish invention, the BBC is currently featuring a fascinating audio slideshow about James Watt, whose achievements as one of the greatest entrepreneurs of the industrial revolution are being celebrated at the Science Museum, London from 23 March 2011.
