UK: Business links with academic research teams rise
11.09.2011
Collaborations between business and academia have risen sharply in the past year, according to new research.Interface, which acts as a broker between firms and universities and research institutes, reported a 47% growth in figures in 2010-11.
The Scottish Funding Council-backed organisation brokered 144 contracts between research teams and Scottish businesses in the last academic year.
It estimated that the deals were worth £2m.
Interface said the contracts would lead to "significant economic benefits", including the development of new products, processes and services, expansion into new markets, the safeguarding of existing posts and the creation of new jobs.
Interface director Siobhan Jordan said small and medium-sized businesses were playing a vital role in boosting Scotland's growth.
She continued: "Universities have a wealth of knowledge and expertise across many different sectors which businesses can tap into to increase their competitiveness and exploit new market opportunities.
