Summary
This is a summary of a plenary talk given at ECMI 2008 emphasizing the importance of applied mathematics to our economies, in particular the use of continuum models to give insight and hence guide industrial developments. This is illustrated using examples from industrial study groups, where collaboration between mathematicians and industrial partners has yielded great insight.
