Overcoming common barriers.

Survey Feedback

Last year we held 6 breakfast events and one seminar and kicked off this season’s (2011/12) programme last month at STFC Daresbury. Thank you to those who completed our surveys, the information has been invaluable in terms of putting this year's programme together and improving how we do things.

Results: our summer survey told us that each person attending made approximately 4 or 5 ongoing connections or collaborations, and we had good figures for other indicators of innovation and business growth: 43% of those responding said the network had a medium level contribution to new sales, and 7% said high contribution to securing investment.  35% said it had made a medium contribution to technology transfer and 5% high. Our summer survey results are available.

In our last survey at STFC in November 52% of you said the network had helped or would help with new sales and other business growth or development.

We are developing case studies which we will share with you via our website.  We also have a recently established linkedin group, and quarterly newsletter. Please get in touch if you are a network member and would like to feature or if we can help you make any connections.
