Entrepreneur in Residence programme
The three year Entrepreneur in Residence (EiR) programme was initiated in September 2006 to assist in the creation of life science businesses.
The programme is supported by Scottish Funding Council Knowledge Transfer Grant funding and a Medical Research Council award.
The current EiR is Dr Howard Marriage, a businessman with over three decades of experience in life sciences research and commercialisation.
Objectives
The programme aims to build life science business proposals that:
- originate from College intellectual assets
- are aligned with market needs
- seek to utilise Scotland-wide and international assets
Companies are encouraged to locate to Edinburgh BioQuarter, contributing to a vision of a globally competitive life science industry in Scotland.
