Hi Heri,

First of welcome to the Forum - hope to see you around!

What you do looks interesting why not put up a more substantial article about it. I had a look at your site - although we are quite small why not put a link back to us over here?

Cheers

RoyAdmin

Royston thank you for your response, ill explain further for you

In the U.S 2.7% of GDP is spent on Research and Development. In Europe we only spend 1.9%. By investing into R&D, intellectual property is created; IP gives you the right to power through IPR. Markets shift and innovate through growth. To gain competitive edge Europe needs to innovate.

The European Commission have made available €52 Billion and to be spent over 7 years) this money is made available for company’s to invent/innovate and establish new markets with new products/process with defined market pull. This money is found at available to all European enterprises at www.cordis.lu

Europe wants to improve its 1.9% GDP to 3.0% this will make Europe a knowledged based economy. By owning the important patents of the world Europe will not have to compete with low labour rates outside Europe.

Who gets the €52billion?? UK and Mainland European industry, any company can tap into the 100% funded resource, in fact over a 3rd of the budget is allocated for small to medium sized enterprises . 90% of Europe’s enterprises are small or medium (less than 250 employees) SME’s add up to 75% of Europe’s economy.

My role in my organisation is to socialise with industry and look for company’s that have great innovative ideas “In a new risky market” but may lake the money or high science needed to achieve these ventures.

Health and Environment Research Institute UK have a clean hands approach to IPR and can be paid 100% by the EC to work on your behalf, so no need to dilute your equity through a VC. Creating a new product in a unproven market is terribly risky but highly profitable if done correctly for the owner of the IPR.
