Technology transfer institute iSLI has unveiled a project to provide Scottish businesses with the technical and financial support required to develop a raft of high value high-tech new products and services.

Technology transfer institute iSLI has unveiled a project to provide
businesses across the Scottish lowlands and uplands with the technical
and financial support required to develop a raft of high value high-tech
new products and services.
Backed by a six-figure investment
from the Scottish Government SEEKIT programme and the European Regional
Development Fund, the DoRIES (Development of Research and Innovation in
Electronic Systems) project has been designed to support Scottish SMEs
seeking to develop marketable products, services or processes using
electronics based enabling technologies. With the aid of cash grants,
the programme's technical support team will help participating companies
develop and adopt the high-tech product solutions demanded by the
modern marketplace.
"While it has become commonplace to talk down
our capacity to invent, invest and innovate, we believe that this
country still has the capacity to be recognised as a global centre of
innovation and technical excellence. Some of the most exciting products
on the international markets today function using technology that was
made in Scotland, and we're delighted to be driving an initiative that
will help a new range of goods and services make the journey from bright
idea to commercial success story," said iSLI Director Dr Mark Begbie.
Jointly
funded by ERDF, SEEKIT and iSLI together with Edinburgh, Glasgow,
Heriot Watt and Strathclyde universities, DoRIES will begin in January
2011. Delivered by the technology transfer institute's team of
time-served engineers, businesses will be helped through the process of
integrating and mastering the technologies - such as wireless
interconnection, embedded computing, advanced sensing, signal processing
and energy efficiency - they need to deliver the high degrees of
automation, intelligence, mobility and usability required by today's
markets.
With extensive experience developing integrated system
technologies for the energy, smart home, health, aerospace and
electronics sectors, iSLI is ideally positioned to provide client
companies with the technology and supporting guidance required to
generate engagement and impact across almost all business markets and
sectors. Project staff will work with companies to create the new
technological concepts they need to take their product to the next
level. They will then provide focused support to develop those concepts
into robust technology solutions satisfying the needs and roadmap of the
client companies. Firms taking advantage of the project can receive
assistance with both the technology review and technology feasibility
study phases of product development. SMEs will be eligible for a package
of support - up to a maximum value of £5,000 - to undertake the
collaborative feasibility studies and proof-of-concept work with the
institute.
Dr Begbie added: "Experience has taught us that every
year too many innovative ideas for new products and services fizzle out
because companies simply don't know how or where to begin with their
development, particularly if their concept requires skills they don't
yet have in-house. It is our sincere hope that by providing the
essential technology development skills businesses need to get such
projects up and running, Scotland's SMEs will now be able to access a
simpler and less problematic route to market."
The SEEKIT
programme is a Scottish Government scheme which aims to encourage new
and improved productive knowledge transfer activities between small to
medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and the Scottish public sector science
base.
The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) is an
instrument of the EC which aims to strengthen economic and social
cohesion in the European Union by correcting imbalances between its
regions. The DoRIES project is funded under Priority 1 – ‘Research and
Innovation’ within the fund for ‘Regional Competitiveness and
Employment’.
