The Future of Finance is live!
On 25 March 2010, Lord Drayson, Rachel Reeves and Huw Evans officially launched the Future of Finance Network. They've all got high hopes for us. Here's what Lord Drayson had to say...
A little bit about what we're trying to do...
This welcome address at the launch reception helps explain what we're trying to do...
So we've had the launch... we've got a lot of support... and we've got a lot of people interested in us. So now it's up to you. Use this space to blog, comment and discuss issues that you're interested in.
If you want to get more involved in the network, come along to the Steering Group meetings and make your ideas happen.
Looking forward to seeing what you've got say and what you make of this Network.
