OUR CHALLENGE
Since its inception in 2004, UMI
3
has met, and in most cases
exceeded, all of the financial targets and main goals and tasks that
were set for it at its establishment. Whilst we celebrate this successful
past, we are now concentrating on building upon these achievements.
At the heart of UMI
3
is its enduring commitment to play a vital but
complementary role within its community, especially recognising the
University's "world top 25" research and scholarship ambition, of
which exemplary intellectual property (IP) activities form a part.
In pursuit of this, UMI
3
endeavours to strike the right balance between
seeking to maximise the transfer of amazing ideas and inventions to
the market-place, for the social and economic benefit of the nation
and beyond. At the same time, we aim to ensure that appropriate
value is secured for the University and its staff and students.
The next ten years will be
another new, challenging and
exciting period for UMI
3
