Page 2 of 3 The Offer
Funding to intermediaries to enable:
• Mechanisms to translate and transfer knowledge into businesses.
• Mentoring to improve the commercialisation process.
• Facilities that develop the skills of technicians and employees.
• Access to world-class knowledge and ability to exploit global business opportunities.
• Credible facilities and access to specialist equipment.
• Access to specialist skills and tailored brokerage to the wider business support.
The funding will support intermediaries to build and provide shared facilities and services designed explicitly to enable knowledge transfer, to test the commercialisation of emerging technologies, and to share this best practice amongst groups of new and established businesses. The focus is on the knowledge sharing: the facilities need not focus on a geographical place or require a building.
Intermediaries are likely to be consortia comprising universities, private sector and public sector bodies –e.g. Regional Development Agencies, or knowledge transfer networks to act as a focal point for sharing best practice and knowledge.
