How do we improve the process to commercialise research?
Tell us your opinion in this brief survey
 
Growth is at the heart of the Government’s economic agenda, and it has made clear the importance of the UK becoming a leader in sectors such as the life sciences and advanced manufacturing.
Based upon our experiences managing knowledge transfer and business networks, we have focused on three areas, making five key recommendations.

We now welcome your views and comments concerning these recommendations via the survey below. Please let us know if you feel there are other priorities which we have omitted.

The five recommendations concern "Business Working with Academia", "Funding the Commercialisation Activity" and "Promoting UK Technology". We welcome your views (or counterviews)!   
In total there are 11 (eleven) Yes/No questions to answer, and of course you have the opportunity to add your opinion and view. All submissions will remain confidential.

Business working with Academia

Did you know that the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council (EPSRC) have £3.6 Billion of research work-in-progress?

This is an untapped resource for the UK's business community. Increasing the level of academia to business engagement to expose the commercial potential of this research agenda is a priority, and the first step in the process for commercialisation.

Recommendation #1 – Promoting the UK’s University Research Agenda

-       Much more needs to be done at a regional level to highlight the Regional / Local Universities research agenda to business, in a language friendly to the business community (highlighting applications, functionality, markets). University research programmes should be show cased through regular networking events, and accessible through a simple on-line portal
