7 June 2011 – SECC, Glasgow
The Scottish Technology Showcase is the must-attend FREE event for everyone who produces or consumes technology in Scotland.
By attending this event you will be able to explore the ways in which you can make your business Faster, Leaner, & Greener with the latest cutting-edge enabling technology solutions that ISLI can provide.
DoRIES, a new service delivered by ISLI, supports Scottish pre-start-ups, from small to medium sized companies and works to develop or improve the products, services or processes using electronics-based enabling technologies.
Clients can obtain impartial FREE one to one advice on electronics and embedded software technologies and techniques from the DoRIES team. Conducted in the form of a technology review and typically as part of the client’s development plans for a new product or service or the redevelopment or improvement of an existing product.
Following a Technology Review, the need for a further investigation may be highlighted. To enable this, pre-start-ups and SMEs may apply for further support up to the value of £5000 or 50% of total project costs (lesser amount), in order to assess the technical feasibility of the project by further leveraging the expertise of the ISLI Technology Group staff and, where appropriate, the partner universities of Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt, Strathclyde and Glasgow.
Typical outcomes from feasibility studies include a feasibility report, proof of concept, technology demonstrator or a combination of the three. This will provide the client with reassurance of the underlying technology and place the client in a stronger position to self-fund or seek further funding from a 3rd party to complete the project.
DoRIES is funded by the Scottish Government’s SEEKIT programme, the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and ISLI’s partner universities; Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt, Strathclyde and Glasgow.
If you are interested in discussing your ideas further, or would like to utilise the DoRIES service, register for free at www.scottishtechnologyshowcase.com, and then come along to stand A14 to meet the ISLI team.
We look forward to seeing you there on the day!
