UNITED KINGDOM-A 2005 report on the state of creativity in British business made for gloomy reading. Out of 300 companies analyzed in the government-funded study, many hadn't released a new product or service for two years. To maintain Great Britain as an innovation leader, London's Imperial College recently joined forces with the Royal College of Art (RCA) to create a new, $11.6 million interdisciplinary center, Design-London at RCA-lmperial.

The new "innovation triangle" will combine the talents of RCA designers, Imperial engineers and technicians, and business experts from Imperial's Tanaka Business School. Entrepreneurial-minded graduates will have the chance to develop ideas there. And through research, they plan to learn how to Integrate design more effectively with technology and business to create world-class products and services. The center's advisory board will be headed by someone who knows firsthand the value of innovation, sleek designs and entrepreneurship: inventor James Dyson of vacuum cleaner fame.-TG
