Birmingham Science City's projects are split across the 5 key technology themes:
There are currently 11 'demonstrator projects' funded by Birmingham Science City - these short-term projects are designed to showcase new technologies which can benefit businesses in the West Midlands and build links between local business and the knowledge base. These projects also address some of the key issues affecting 'quality of life' in healthcare, sustainability and digital communications. The projects will all help demonstrate that the West Midlands is a leading player in the application of science and technology in the UK.
More demonstrator projects are planned for the future.
£3.3 million has been invested in the demonstrator projects. Advantage West Midlands have invested £2.1 million in the projects, with an additional £1.2 million coming from other public and private funding sources.
In addition to the demonstrator projects there are also a number of larger Capital projects planned - these are focused on increasing the potential of the knowledge base - with the biggest of these projects being the Science City Research Alliance.
