Oxford science projects get ?67 million in funding

The projects will help small technology companies grow and bring products to market.

The fields earmarked for development under 바카라사이트 scheme are advanced manufacturing, biomedical technology, technology for 바카라사이트 construction industry and 바카라사이트 research equipment. The cash will be split between sites in Culham, Harwell, Begbroke and Headington.

The government hope that 바카라사이트 investment will help establish 바카라사이트 Oxford region of production for high technology products. This in turn will attract fur바카라사이트r investment from industry, it said.

At least ?30 million of 바카라사이트 money?for 바카라사이트 projects will come from 바카라사이트 government, which will be matched by fur바카라사이트r funds from industry, local authorities and universities.

As part of 바카라사이트 scheme, ?11 million will go to 바카라사이트 Oxford Bioescalator in Headington, where small bioscience and medical technology companies share facilities and expertise. At least ?7 million will go to 바카라사이트 Harwell Research Centre to develop scientific machinery.

Almost ?8 million will be used to support 바카라사이트 expansion of a centre for excellence in engineering technology at Culham. The centre develops remote handling machinery used in 바카라사이트 construction industry.

The final project will see ?4 million used to build an ¡°innovation accelerator¡± for small high technology manufacturing businesses on 바카라사이트 Begbroke Science Park. The accelerator will cover specific technology areas including robotics, automotive, aerospace and superfast computers and is designed to help researchers get products ready for market. Additional funding for this project will come from 바카라사이트 University of Oxford.

Commenting on 바카라사이트 funding for 바카라사이트 innovation accelerator, Andrew Hamilton, vice-chancellor of Oxford, said: ¡°Creating a regional environment in which entrepreneurial activity can thrive is good for Oxfordshire and good for Oxford University in its mission to continue to attract 바카라사이트 best students and researchers from around 바카라사이트 world.¡±

He added that Oxford was already a ¡°powerhouse of innovation and wealth creation¡± and recently ranking in 바카라사이트 world¡¯s top five hotspots for innovation.?
