Technology Innovation Centres

02 December 2010

Fraunhofer Institutes, largely found in Germany but located all over the world, are scientific research centres oriented toward applications and results; this is an area of research that the UK is perceived to be weak in. 

The Science and Technology Committee announced an inquiry examining the Fraunhofer as a model for Technology Innovation Centres in this country and its validity in improving commercialisation of research in the UK.
