| Ken Livingstone launches new Council for London Ken Livingstone launched Catalyst, a new science and industry council for London which will be chaired by Sir Richard Sykes, rector of Imperial College London and former chairman of GlaxoSmithKline. The aim of Catalyst is to shape the future of London’s science base and boost the role it plays in the capital’s economic development. It is part of the Mayor’s vision to establish London as the world’s leading centre for science, technology, design and innovation and is supported by the London Development Agency, London universities and several leading companies. Catalyst intends to undertake a 3-year activity programme in partnership with the London Development Agency who are providing £800, 000 to the Council. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
