Background

The launch of the Autumn 2006 competition, which will be held as part of Innovate 2006 will take place at the Queen Elizabeth II centre in London on 2^nd November. The event will provide UK Businesses with a major opportunity to engage with and understand the Technology Strategy and the role that Knowledge Transfer Networks (KTNs) are playing in supporting its development.

The Technology Programme competition for collaborative research and development projects will also formally open for applications at this event and a series of partnering events and applicant briefings will be held in November and December with the support of the Research Councils, Regional Development Agencies and Devolved Administrations.   

These events will be an opportunity for delegates to learn more about the priorities in the Autumn 06 competition, including the competition requirements and the application process.
