UKInnovationPriorities
... for growth
Two-thirds of UK private sector productivity growth between 2000 and 2007 was a result of innovation.

But meeting these challenges is not easy
• The challenges are complicated• The markets are global• There are many barriers to innovation

Regional Innovation –the Changing Role of Clusters
From 1209-1980 Cambridge has been one of the UK’s oldest universities in a small market town, surrounded by agriculture
** 2010/2011 QS World University Ranking 1st
2010 THE World University Ranking 6th
In 2010 Cambridge is ranked in the top 6** of the World’s universities and has:
• 10 Research Institutes incl: Sanger Genome Research Centre, The Welding Institute, Nokia, Toshiba, Microsoft and Unilever Research
• 17 Science Parks incl: Trinity Science Park, Babraham Research Campus, Granta Park, St John’s Innovation Centre, Cambridge Business Park and Adastral Park
• >1,000 Science-based Companies incl: ARM, Autonomy, Abcam, Amgen, Astra-Zeneca, Cambridge Silicon Radio, Cambridge Display Technology, Genzyme, Kodak, Motorola
• >40,000 employees, dominated by life sciences and ICT, followed by materials and a small manufacturing sector

EPSRC Research: Industrial Collaboration
Over 2,300 organisations collaborate on EPSRC projects
40% of all research is collaborative with industry – with $1.1B Industrial Contributions
Creating new businesses
•In the period 2003-2007, thirty one university spin outs were launched with an IPO value of £1.5 billion.
•Ten spin out companies were acquired for a total value of £1.9 billion in the same period. •[Source UNICO]
Getting a grip
• Its development was shrouded in secrecy, but nowa new vehicle suspensioncomponent born out of EPSRC research has astounded the world of Formula 1 motor sport
This revolutionarycomponent to improve ‘grip’could find a much wider range of applications throughout the transport sector
Kimi Raikkonen crosses the finish line to take victory for McLaren in Barcelona 2005 in the first car to race the
inerter – a new vehicle suspension component born out of fundamental EPSRC research
EPSRC: Benefits of collaboration

Keeping abreast of cutting edge research
Access to problem solving capacities from universityresearchers
Access to a network
To undertake highly exploratory research
Access to R&D facilities not available within thecompany
To build up new research areas within yourorganisation
Developing proprietary knowledge (e.g. patent)
Access to potential employees
Outsourcing R&D activities

Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCOS) - PASSBACK
Target: prototype LCOS devices for
• holographic projection systems• add-drop multiplexers• lab-on-chip devices able to manipulate biological entities
Aim:
• To develop in-house LCOS prototype device fabrication processes for high-spec LCOS devices
• To build prototype devices for various applications
Progress:
• Successfully commissioned a 20 step semi-automatic LCOS prototyping process
• Phase-only holographic projection engine prototype built and tested in collaboration with commercial partner, ALPS
• 32 phase levels
• Field sequential colour
• 60 Hz frame rate
• 720 x 720 pixel hologram
• 1920 x 1080 pixels displayed
Concluding Remarks
• Perspectives on UK Innovation
• On the National level – Frameworks, Networks and Clusters all have roles to play in driving Innovation
• On the Local level – Innovation Partnerships can assist the generation and exploitation of new Ideas
