Sir James Dyson insists on cultural changes to ensure Britain takes prominent role in hi-tech development

Vacuum cleaner entrepreneur Sir James Dyson today used his new position as Tory technology tsar to call for better support for scientists and engineers.
 

Dyson told the Conservative conference in Manchester that it was time for Britain to take a leading international role in the development of technology.
 

He hit out at banks that had created “illusory wealth” and warned that finances should be a “means to an end, not an end in themselves”.
 

The inventor is set to head a Conservative taskforce exploring ways in which Britain can become the leading hi-tech exporter in Europe.
 

The taskforce will look at how the country can harness the resources of its university science and engineering departments and generate a significant expansion of hi-tech product development.
 

Dyson told the conference: “As someone passionate about engineering and solving problems, I have a question for you: can Britain now only make money from money?
“Or can it make money from making things too?”
He added: “Britain’s long-term need to develop and sell new technology has been neglected.
“Exports have dwindled and imports have risen sharply, while the debt grows and grows. That’s why I’m here – not to make a party political comment or to blame any particular government but to call for a change in policy and attitude.
“More than ever, we need to value our scientists and engineers. Our future wealth depends on it.”
Dyson said scientists needed better financial support, such as further tax incentives, but insisted “cultural changes” were vital.

Plans for a £37m Bioscience Campus in Stevenage, Hertfordshire were announced today by Business, Innovation and Skills Secretary, Lord Mandelson.
The project aims to create a world-leading hub for early-stage biotech companies, operating under a model of open-innovation and collaboration.
 

The Campus will offer each company access to specialist skills, equipment and expertise, to help stimulate innovation in drug development. By sharing knowledge each company will also increase its chance of success, while retaining its independence so entrepreneurship can flourish.
 

Speaking ahead of the announcement at the Technology Strategy Board’s Innovate09 Conference, Lord Mandelson said: “The Stevenage Campus represents a huge investment in the future of Britain’s bioscience industry and is a strong new platform for the work of our Office for Life Sciences.”
 

It’s estimated that development of the campus could create up to 1,500 new jobs, most of which will be high-skilled. It will initially be home to around 25 companies, co-located with GlaxoSmithKline on its existing research site, with plans to increase capacity at the park fivefold over the next 10 years.

Global pharmaceutical sales are expected to increase 4% to 6% next year to more than $825 billion, though overall market growth likely will remain at historically low levels, according to research firm IMS Health (RX).

Executive Murray Aitken said, “While our outlook for the global market is more positive” than earlier this year, the industry still faces funding pressures, a potential gap between new drugs and expiring patents, potential health-care law changes and a weakened global economy.

Stronger-than-expected growth in the U.S. market contributed to the company raising its 5-year global-growth forecast by one percentage point to of 4% to 7%. It predicts the pharmaceutical market to expand to more than $975 billion by 2013. Pricing flexibility and inventory management contributed to the stronger-than-expected U.S. growth, said IMS, but it expects a significant gap between product introductions and patent losses over the next five year, limiting prospects.

Near-term U.S. pharmaceutical sales growth prospects have strengthened in recent months, aided by price increases and tight inventories. The U.S. market is expected to grow 4.5% to 5.5% this year and 3% to 5% in 2010.

IMS noted increases have slowed in countries where there is high out-of-pocket spending on drugs and steep economic downturns, particularly Russia, Mexico and South Korea. But strong growth is likely to hold up in some emerging markets, notably China, where pharmaceutical sales are seen rising more than 20% a year.
