Students are brought together from various universities across Scotland including, University of Strathclyde, University of Aberdeen, Heriot Watt University and the University of Dundee to compete for the Proof of Concept Award and the opportunity to develop their concept in industry.
Jack Perry, Chief Executive of Scottish Enterprise says 'this programme is a unique Scottish initiative which makes the important step between initial scientific discovery and first protoype easier for Scottish researchers'.
FACT. Since the Programme was created in 1999, 206 projects have been supported creating over 500 new jobs, 40 spin-out and start-up companies, 38 licensing deals and leveraging over £210 million of public and private investment which would not otherwise have happened in Scotland.
