Video Interview: Alex Stanhope from TSB on £18m Collaborative R&D Fund

Fortunately, the process for securing a slice of the £18m Collaboration Across Digital Industries fund recently announced by the Technology Strategy Board is much less painful.
I caught up with Alex Stanhope, who is leading this project to get the background on the TSB's work and the Digital Testbeds that led to this £18m competition.
In the first video, Alex explained the work of the TSB and the Digital Testbeds that have led to this competition:
In the second video, I quizzed Alex on the nitty gritty of the competition, asking him what types of projects they're looking for, what constitutes a consortium and what's meant by match-funding, amongst other things:
There are still a few spaces at the information events in Bristol, Manchester and Glasgow - and we have news of two more next week. They're a great chance to find out more, get some insight into collaboration and quiz Alex and his TSB colleagues face-to-face.
