MW POLYMERS RECEIVES ￡200K GRANT FROM INNOVATE UK FOR NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

摘要

MW POLYMERS, a leading manufacturer of sealants, acfhesives and coatings for pipeline industries, has won an innovation grant of more than ￡200k from government body Innovate UK. The grant will support a collaborative knowledge transfer partnership (KTP) project between MW Polymers and Aston University. The aim of a KTP project is to exchange knowledge three ways between the business, the university and the graduate. This supports areas of potential growth for the business, develops stronger industry ties for the university and allows the graduate to further their work in a specialist field. Mike Wild, founder and Managing Director of MW Polymers, said: "Securing funding from Innovate UK is a great result. It will enable us to work with the brightest minds in the field of advanced materials. By the end of the project, we're confident we will have an innovative product suitable for industry."
