What is the project doing?
As a result of the Phase 2 funding, the TIAH members developed a workable process, and an understanding of the the costs (in time and funding) required to deliver a comprehensive SHAPE commercialisation offer. Now that we have a stable model to take forward, phase 3 funding will be used to underpin the TIAH, specifically with a (0.4FTE) hub manager, and associated administrative support, to oversee the TIAH’s shared project pipeline and programme of activities for both SHAPE academics and professional services teams. Programme activities fall into 3 categories: Pipeline stimulation and consolidation; training, support and capacity building; resource consolidation.
Next steps
The project will be starting soon its next phase of activity soon, with Phase 3 funding.
How can members get involved?
Members will be invited to participate in some TIAH programmes (like the Pre-Accelerator) in the coming year.
