  1. BITECIC – a Yorkshire Forward-supported Centre of Industrial Collaboration in Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering. • 3 year tapered funding support 2003-6. • Business Model: Research & Development services to Industry, primarily in the Y&H region, managed externally with resource provided from within the WRUs (Sheffield, Leeds, York). • Offices at Thorpe Park, Leeds. • 5 FTEs

  4. Industry: Commercially based Research Universities: Precompetitive Research • Incremental improvements in cost, features or performance of a given product • Work that guarantees some advantage over a competitor • Work that allows a given company to reach a place where someone else already is • Work that a company requires to be held as proprietary • Work on platform products that provide some competitive advantage • Work on existing, successful products or their immediate successors • SHORTER TERM • Overcomes basic obstacles preventing commercial application • Understand the fundamentals of new technologies or materials • Aimed at providing the tools, information, and data that enables development of new products • Offers equal benefit to all • No barriers to publication • Has a high cost, and/or risk of failure • Work on something no one knows how to do • Development of industry standards or test procedures where no precedents exist • LONGER TERM

  5. time Business / Market Product / Service Technology Technology Roadmapping: linking Industrial need with academic capabilities

  6. Yorkshire Forward Research and Development Award for Large Companies • £18.5M scheme running for three years. • Supports large company R&D programmes with up to 50% funding. • Two calls for proposals already: next is expected during autumn 05. • No specific requirement for CIC involvement. Offers a further opportunity to develop large company industrial interaction with HEIs.

  7. BITECIC: Regional Issues • Breadth and industry focus of regional academic science base (our suppliers). • Breadth of regional industrial base in forefront technologies (our customers). • Developing a viable business model for self sustainability at the end of RDA support period.
