Bid Presentation to Yorkshire Connect: Virtual Runner Commercialisation

This Tuesday afternoon, Prof. Rod King, Andrew Marran, and myself gave a presentation to a panel from Yorkshire Connect for obtaining a grant for commercialisation of our joint TQEF developed "Virtual Runner" prototype. We pitched only the angle of developing this as a learning tool, as advised by panel member Lloyd Snellgrove (Director of Yorkshire Concept Proof of Concept Fund, Yorkshire Universities) who has spoken to Andrew. We figured that this would show a solid potential, as we already had an informal business contact through the textbook publisher.

We were able to cover our presentation in the allotted 10 minutes: 3 minutes for Rod to talk about the physiology, 2 minutes for me to cover the technology and show a presentation of our prototype, and 5 minutes for Andrew to cover the commercialisation and the market - the panel had asked to spend 5 minutes on this market topic.

We believe that the meeting went successful, as we noted that the panel was quite excited about our project.
