Scotland boasts one of the highest research outputs in Europe
yet has one of the lowest commercialisation track records. So the
Innovation Working
Group is tasked with working towards linking commercial needs
and academic research into market commercialisation.
Chaired by Dr Alan Rowe of Rowett Research Services, the Innovation Group is
currently focusing on establishing The Scotland Food & Drink
Innovation Centre to provide support and advice on market
information, branding support and regulatory issues, for
example.
The merger of The Rowett Institute and the University of
Aberdeen in 2008 has been the catalyst for developing a dedicated
Scottish innovation and commercialisation centre in Aberdeen.
