CEO,
commented: "The work that
we carry out with our
academic colleagues is very
exciting and rewarding. We
have weathered the external
financial shocks well, which
is a testament to my
colleagues' persistence and
the scale and quality of the
University's inventions and
software, which gives us
confidence for continued
progress over the next
ten years."
Delegates were shown
around an innovation gallery
which highlighted a
selection of University
technologies which have
been commercialised.
Innovations displayed
covered many market sectors
including biomedical,
environmental and energy
fields and consisted of
spin-out technologies,
licensed technologies and
social enterprises.
Professor Luke Georghiou,
Vice President for Research
and Innovation, commented:
'As a University we have to
ensure that the work we do
has impact beyond
academia, yielding economic
social and cultural benefits.

great to be able to take
stock of these achievements
today as we move into the
next decade of delivering
innovation especially on the
back of George Osborne's
recent announcements
about science investment in
the region."
