What is an IKC?
A vehicle to accelerate and promote
commercial exploitation of an emerging
research and technology field in partnership
with industry
Located in a university
Integrates
Skilled professionals from both academia
and business
Defined technology scope

Specific challenges of our sector
Multiple technologies to be developed & co-optimised
New materials
Materials deposition
Patterning
Device architecture
Device fabrication processes
Testing
Bringing multiple component technologies together
Power, Sensor, Logic, Output
Few large companies in value chain, many SMEs
Scale up is complex and multi-staged

TRL 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Universities
Lead commercialiser
Technology transfer cannot be achieved
- Acceptance of technical risk
- Assimilation capability
