Our vision & values
Our goal is to make Cenamps an internationally recognised centre for the successful commercialisation of emerging technologies and to encourage greater collaboration of science with business, promoting sustainable innovation and technological development.
Our vision is for the North East of England to become a vital source of competitive advantage for high-tech enterprises.
Successful innovation today requires businesses to forge commercially viable networks of partners, have a clear understanding of consumer and societal needs, develop deep insight into socio-economic trends that could potentially have an impact on business activities as well as optimise speed-to-market.
This is why Cenamps values:
- Collaboration – we forge close partnerships with entrepreneurs and industry leaders, academic institutions and government bodies, nationally and internationally. We place emphasis on confidentiality, honesty and openness and help partners resolve their specific innovation challenges and needs
- Responsible innovation – we take into consideration the social context of the technologies we develop, gaining insight into both the opportunities and uncertainties they generate, with emphasis on sustainable innovation and development
- Strengthening the economy - we aim to deploy market-led programmes that will yield greater economic prosperity for the North East of England by strengthening the region’s innovation capabilities, capacity and performance and its commercial connectivity with other regions internationally
- People as innovators – ideas come from people and people form the heart of any innovation programme. We value people for their knowledge, diversity, willingness to share, integrity, results, contribution and interpersonal skills
