Minerva, the business angel network which is part of ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Science Park, has played a vital role in helping Lincoln-based tech start-up Tended access the funds and know-how needed to take its intelligent safety solutions to the next level. Tended secured a total of £935,000 through Minerva Business Angels, including a single investment of £810,000 from Blackfinch Ventures. They went on to secure a further £221,000 from innovate UK, taking the total raised to £1.15m.  

People with a range of abilities can use VR headsets to experience what it’s like on board one of the Jubilee Sailing Trust’s ships to encourage them to explore their ability and participate in a life changing voyage thanks to an app made by WMG student Tanin Aparimarn at the ¹û¶³´«Ã½.

The intricate interplay of sunlight, molecules, and metal catalyst materials that can break down greenhouse gases such as CO₂ will be explored in the Department of Chemistry at the ¹û¶³´«Ã½, by Dr Reinhard J. Maurer using computer simulations thanks to award of £1.46M by the Government’s UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship programme.

WMG, at the ¹û¶³´«Ã½, has worked with partners, to create a new design of incredibly lightweight Very Light Rail (VLR) vehicle frame which is weaved, or braided, from carbon fibre composites into a series of tubes to create a first prototype demonstrator frame. Parliamentary Under Secretary of State and Minister for Business and Industry Andrew Stephenson became one of the very first people to see the new design, outside of the research partnership, on a visit to WMG on 16^th May.

Researchers from the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ have today been recognised for their exceptional contribution to keeping the nation healthy.

The ¹û¶³´«Ã½ is delighted to be partnering with project leads Coventry University and West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) in a major, new, mental health pilot.
