We are not sure this has received much press which is a shame as it is a great initiative by the UK’s DTI for the ISE event in Amsterdam later this month. It seems that there is a dedicated UK Pavilion at ISE 2008 featuring the “Best of British Technology”. http://www.ukiseurope.com/ says “With over 70 […]
