The final conference of the FP7 FINNOV project (Finance, Innovation & Growth, www.finnov-fp7.eu), focused on the need for finance to be reformed so that it serves innovation and value creation - rather than innovation serving finance and too much value destruction. Our motto is: finance for creative destruction not destructive creation.
