When the prime minister described "start-ups and scale-ups pouring out of our world-class universities" in his first Labour Conference speech, he captured a real and growing strength of the UK's higher education sector. However, just recognising the scale of UK university research and innovation is only half of the truth. KEF 6 captures this extent of economic output but it also demonstrates that it is when innovative ideas are applied and collaborated on locally - in the towns, high streets and communities of the UK – that they become truly valuable.
