It is great to see the launch of the Young Innovators site and awards programme for 2010. The team at Priority One have outdone themselves in knitting together a diverse range of organisations, schools and people to create this programme.

It will encourage innovation within our schools and reward our young talent with an opportunity to step out and exceed themselves with this fascinating new initiative.

Locus Research has been involved with advocating for this programme and the development of the structure on which it is based. Many other regional businesses have done the same. We look forward to seeing the results.

We will provide judging and guidance on the research and communication, with our good local friends wood creative and envirostate providing the creativity and sustainability input.
