Role of the Strategic Research Centre
To deliver competitive advantage through technologies beyond the time horizon or scope of our existing sectors
Normally, partnerships towards TRL 4.
Role of the Strategic Research Centre
To look ahead for the next technologies Beyond the time horizon of today’s sectors Beyond the scope of today’s sectors
Ensures those technologies are aligned to deliver potential Plc value
Lead / support of collaboration assessments Route for organic growth via technology led spin-outs
(Fuel Cells, Tidal) Co-located with new ACC (Advanced Concepts Centre)
