Two North West start-ups will bring their healthcare products to market more quickly, as winners of a 6 month R&D and business support package at STFC’s Daresbury Laboratory. The competition winners each gain six months free access to a self-contained laboratory at the Science and Technology Facilities Council’s Daresbury Laboratory, at Sci-Tech Daresbury in the Liverpool City Region. This includes specialist technology & design support, one-to-one business planning advice and investment readiness training, each of which are critical when bringing a new product to market. Delyth Lloyd, business development manager, at STFC, said: “For small companies, turning an innovative idea into a viable commercial reality that can compete successfully with major industrial players is a real challenge. Companies can benefit massively from access to the unique business support and incubation facilities we have here at Daresbury Laboratory, and we are looking forward to supporting our winners all the way to ensure they get the most of their time here with us.” |
