Yorkshire Forward MNT Strategy• YF MNT Programme allocated £5m to regional MNT organisations in Dec 2004
•Two components:
•Commercially focussed R&D(encouragement of technology push)
•Overcoming barriers to commercialisation (encouragement of market pull)

Overcoming Barriers to Commercialisation
To work with the research and training expertise and relevant industry within the Yorkshire & Humber region to:
• 1) Strategic view of investment to date £5m• 2) Strategic recommendations regarding best practice
– To optimise research pipeline with commercial potential
– To benefit academic and commercial activities

Overcoming Barriers to Commercialisation
To work with the research and training expertise and relevant industry within the Yorkshire & Humber region to:
• 3) Industrial liaison/marketing – stimulation of new opportunities– Industry: understanding their needs and highlighting
opportunities– Universities: to stimulate new ideas and generate funding– Both: stimulation of new opportunities for collaboration
• 4) Represent YF on UK MNT Network and globally

Barriers to Commercialisation of New Technologies
• Academic Barriers
• Industrial Barriers
• Funding Barriers
![Page 23: Malcolm Butler PhD, MSc(Eng), MBA, BSc(Hons), CEng, MIMMM Micro- & Nanotechnology Manager](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051316/568135e6550346895d9d5ad4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Academic Barriers to Commercialisation
• Facilities and multi-disciplinary working• Short-term resources• Relative priorities and drivers regarding research, teaching,
and knowledge/technology transfer• Financial drivers for industrial outreach/commercialisation
activities• Understanding of potential industrial applications• Understanding of potential industrial barriers to
commercialisation• Understanding of the whole innovation cycle • Exploitation strategy of University
![Page 24: Malcolm Butler PhD, MSc(Eng), MBA, BSc(Hons), CEng, MIMMM Micro- & Nanotechnology Manager](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051316/568135e6550346895d9d5ad4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Industrial Barriers to Commercialisation
• Risk Adversion• Sort-term aims vs timescale for commercialisation
of R&D• Awareness of technology• Linking new technologies to current markets• Single point of contact (knowing where to go)• Cost of developing new technologies
![Page 25: Malcolm Butler PhD, MSc(Eng), MBA, BSc(Hons), CEng, MIMMM Micro- & Nanotechnology Manager](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051316/568135e6550346895d9d5ad4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Funding Barriers to Commercialisation
• Proof of concept funding• Finance for early stage companies• Return on investment criteria• Sometimes a bureaucracy barrier
to getting funding
![Page 26: Malcolm Butler PhD, MSc(Eng), MBA, BSc(Hons), CEng, MIMMM Micro- & Nanotechnology Manager](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051316/568135e6550346895d9d5ad4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Conclusions• Got academic R&D excellence in Nanotechnology
– Investing in making this commercially focussed
• Got infrastructure for academic/industrial collaboration– Investing in utilising this for micro- and nano-technology
Want to generate wealth and economic growth from
new micro- and nano-technologies
