Of the objectives assessed against, we were evaluated against our business objectives including:
Dr Martino Picardo, UMIC’s managing director says: “We are delighted to have attained the standard with such a young developing team. We are working towards continuous improvement of our services for our customers and having the right team in place is vital. We take great pride as a service-based business, acting on behalf of the University, in listening to our customers and we will continue to do so.
We have a real ambition now to take the key recommendations on board to deliver an even better service to our customers and achieve a greater global profile for our incubation activities.
