MATRIX - the Northern Ireland Science Industry Panel

Topics:

MATRIX was born out of the Regional Innovation Strategy (RIS) for Northern Ireland. In February 2007 it was tasked with bringing forward-focused advice on the future policies necessary for Northern Ireland to ensure economic growth and wealth creation through greater commercial exploitation of its science and technology capabilities.
