In 'Innovation Nation', Secretary of State John Denham asked NESTA to 'develop an Innovation Index to measure UK innovation in the round.' The purpose was to embody a broader vision of innovation and to establish a baseline for the UK's performance against that, and to provide an effective tool for targeting and measuring past present and future policy interventions.
NESTA launched the Innovation Index project. Lord David Currie, Chairman, Ofcom, who chaired the Index Advisory Board, introduced the project. Richard Halkett, Executive Director - Policy & Research, NESTA, outlined NESTA's proposed approach and Lord Currie chaired a panel discussion including Ian Pearson MP, Minister for Science & Innovation, Vicky Pryce, Joint Head of the Government Economic Service and Chief Economic Adviser at BERR, Mark Britnell, Director General - Commissioning and System Management, Department of Health and Ben Verwaayen, former Chief Executive of BT.
