“The North of England was at the heart of the first Industrial Revolution and remains at the forefront in many fields of technology and commerce. But the rewards of innovation are soon lost if they are not properly protected. Our task is to support the Northern Powerhouse at ground level by working with Northern businesses to seek out innovations, new products, new processes, new designs and brands across all fields of technology and commerce and across all sectors of the economy and to protect those assets throughout the United Kingdom, Europe and the rest of the world, so that the benefits of our Northern innovations to come back to the Northern Powerhouse.”
