Editor's Notes

  1. Good morning ladies and gentleman. My name is Martin Bryant and I am a Board Member at emda with responsibility for Business. Can I firstly say how pleased I am to be here today. Though out my career in the public, private and voluntary sectors I have seen how critical the STEM agenda is to ensuring a healthy and productive society. I have also seen that societies were business is an active participant in developing, shaping and supporting STEM education then the rewards are real and significant. With this in mind I am want to take the opportunity to highlight some of our regional success stories and take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate their success.
