"We are delighted to continue to work in close partnership with the University of Ulster. The standard of their buildings in all the schemes by the Science Research Parks is excellent and inspire great collaboration on the research, the technology transfer process and commercial development. Our location here supports the need for our Business Resource Centre to co-operate closely with the University on all aspects of the Technology Transfer process." commented Gareth White. a co-founder of Simentra who is responsible for the Business Resource Centre.
