5.13 A) University of Bristol - http://www.bristol.ac.uk 94 B) The University of Bristol clearly defined the university procedures concerning cooperation with enterprises and incorporated it into a legal document under the title University and Vision Strategy 2009- 2016 and Research and Enterprise Strategy 2009-2016. University of Bristol Strategy reaffirms priorities for research and enterprise across the University, as detailed in the University Vision and Strategy 2009-16, and lays out the objectives for the next seven years. One of the key deliverables is for the University Research Committee to act as the Project Board for the implementation of the Strategy. www.bristol.ac.uk/red/newco/incubation/sciencepark.html http://www.southwestrda.org.uk/ http://www.uwe.ac.uk/ www.bristol.ac.uk/red/newco/ policy/ C) North Bristol will become home to a major new Science Park being developed by the South West Regional Development Agency (SWRDA) and its development partner supported by the Universities of Bristol, Bath and the West of England (UWE) and other strategic partners. This substantial new development will enable high technology businesses in the South West to take the next step and successfully graduate from the current business incubation facilities in the region, such as those offered by the three Universities: • Step 1: Pre-incubation for very early stage ventures; • Step 2: Incubation for new small businesses; • Step 3: Graduation space at the Science Park for smaller high technology businesses; • Step 4: Mature space at the Science Park for more developed high technology businesses. A spin out company may be appropriate if: • Entry to the market by a new company is relatively easy with few significant barriers; • The marketplace is fragmented with a lot of small companies; • The technology has many applications; • There is a portfolio of patents; • Further investment is required in the technology and associated infrastructure in order to reach the market; • There is a group of founders motivated to start a company; • It is likely that investment funds can be raised for a company; • There is a financial exit route for investors, including the University. Members of staff require authorization from the University before setting up or becoming an officer (director or secretary) of a spin out company. The interests of the University, the individuals and the spin out company must all be considered, and legal issues addressed, including: • The use of intellectual property owned by the University; • The impact on existing and future duties of members of staff; • The use of University resources, such as space and equipment.
D) Enterprise Modules/Units: Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Enterprise. This unit addresses the learning outcomes related to innovation, entrepreneurship and enterprise. It focuses on entrepreneurial approaches in both small start-up companies as well as larger established organizations. Another source of help to develop the business idea and entrepreneurial activities is Bristol University Business Angels which was established with the help and financial support from RED. They offer a range of services from market research and business planning to funding, marketing and accounting. And their services are free! The Student Development Unit at the University of Bristol Union provides training, advice and support to students involved in all sorts of activities including personal development courses run under the “Tooled Up” programme. E) The University maintains close links with the South West Regional Development Agency, through which a number of programmes are funded, and company links are set up. It also has links with Business West and other in the region, through which we are in a good position to support businesses and enterprise throughout the region. The Bristol Enterprise Network is the University’s facility to assist knowledge transfer among the high-tech, high-growth business community. The network, which is free to join, brings together regional, national and international organisations from both the commercial and academic arenas. It provides easy and rapid access to the knowledge, expertise, experience and equipment that is available. RED provides a professional service to support and promote research at the University, advising researchers on a range of European and overseas opportunities and providing guidance throughout the application process. As a result, Bristol is involved in numerous research consortia at the cutting edge of international research. www.fen.bris.ac.uk/engmgt/ ugTeach/ugentre.html www.buba.org.uk www.bristol.ac.uk/studentskills/ content/tooled-up/ www.gwebusinesswest.co.uk/ www.bristolenterprise.com www.bristol.ac.uk/red/ 95 A) University of Edinburgh - http://www.ed.ac.uk B) University of Edinburgh has a clear policy, mission and vision in the field of university-enterprise cooperation.
