Martino Picardo, UMIC's Managing Director, said "We are absolutely delighted to have been accredited at this level. We have been able to maintain a steady balance of deal-flow (University and external spin outs and start-ups), across a broad and diverse selection of company types in the Bio-Health sector. "
Based on the national
Business
Incubation Development Framework, Inspire covers 'physical'
and 'virtual' activity that provides specialist and
targeted business growth support and development to early stage
companies. Inspire is a monitoring and
evaluation tool focussing wider impacts than purely jobs
created/safeguarded ensuring UMIC is creating a sustainable
business community for the future.
