Martin McTague, National Chair, the Federation of Small Businesses, shares how we need to think more broadly about innovation policy to capture the full economic potential. To many, the term "innovation" is usually associated with big names such as Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg. But, in reality, the development and use of new ideas and technology is not confined to the tech industry. We need to think more broadly about innovation policy to capture the full economic potential. A new report by the Federation of Small Businesses – titled The Tech Tonic – found that across all sectors, seven in ten (69 percent) small firms have introduced a new form of innovation in the last three years. This includes the development of an entirely new product(s) to their market (25 percent), significantly improved existing or new product(s) (38 percent), and better staff and customer experience (25 percent).
Jerome Pugh, Founder of Academie, champions French sustainable fashion brands. Here, he gives an insight into the company's journey. When did you start up and why? We started the business 10 years ago after a number of family holidays to Brittany when we used to buy our children traditional Breton stripey tops. That year we couldn't go but still wanted to treat them, however, we couldn't find the real thing over here. We thought that this must be an opportunity and within six months we had met and were working with a traditional Breton clothing company called Mousqueton.
