Academic Support

Critical to the success of Technium is its collaboration with the University of Wales.  At the early stage in the development of a Technium, the Welsh Assembly Government works closely with local academia to identify a fit between its key research departments and the needs of local industry.  Once established, the Technium then facilitates spin-out opportunities for the University and employment opportunities for its graduates.
 
Many of the companies housed in a Technium will have, or will develop, fruitful links with University departments (and particularly the Welsh Assembly Government’s Centres of Excellence in Technology and Industrial Collaboration).
