Network member Aleks Szopinska from ClearGate has this news to share with members.

Together with a group of research and industry experts, ClearGate have established a new approach and platform to accelerate new product developments and foster successful collaborations between academia and industry.

Our ecosystem is built around three key elements. First, we introduce the language of New Product Development (NPD) to improve communication and collaboration between academia and industry. Our first NPD training programmes will begin this September. https://clear-gate.co.uk/npd-academy/ 

Second, we run Research-Industry Matching programmes to connect researchers with the most suitable industry partners and maximise the impact of new innovations. We work with industrial players from multiple domains.Third, we are developing a platform of experts who are fluent in both the language of science and the language of industry, providing support at every stage of development where specialized expertise is needed as regulatory, IP, marketing, funding strategy.

Research groups and spin-outs can join us through the BIT Network, with complimentary membership available to them.  We work closely with the bio-industry, particularly in the food, beverage, nutraceutical, animal feed, industrial biotechnology, and biomaterials .  sectors.https://clear-gate.co.uk/bit-network/

We also publish BIT Magazine, and we would be delighted to feature news and announcements from your network if you would like to reach our community.
