The success of many companies in transferring their technology across sectors will be showcased at the event.<\/p>\n

Bindatex: from bookbinding to precision-cutting composites<\/h3>\n

The successful companies include Bindatex<\/a>, which won support from Innovate UK to help it transfer the technologies it was using for bookbinding materials to the precision-cutting of composites for industry.<\/p>\n

Bindatex has grown its turnover from \u00a370,000 in 2012 to a projected \u00a3540,000 in 2015 and is expected to have a \u00a31.5 million-to-\u00a32 million turnover in the next 3-to-5 years.<\/p>\n

Bladon Jets: from a micro jet engine to powering mobile communications<\/h3>\n

Other companies featured include Bladon Jets<\/a>, set up in 2002, to develop and market a micro jet engine.<\/p>\n

While working on an Innovate UK-funded project to apply its technology as a range extender for hybrid electric cars, it realised there was an opportunity for the turbine to power telecommunications masts for mobile phones in developing countries. <\/p>\n

The business is about to begin manufacturing thousands of units for telecommunications masts this year.<\/p>\n

Intelligent textiles: traditional weaving methods enabling electronics to be woven into soldiers\u2019 uniforms<\/h3>\n

Intelligent Textiles has adapted traditional weaving and electronics technologies to create state-of-the-art uniforms that soldiers will soon be using out in the field.<\/p>\n

The business was set up by fabric designer Asha Peta Thompson and Dr Stan Swallow, a lecturer at Brunel University with a background in electrical engineering, when they realised they could combine their skills to make a fabric switch.<\/p>\n

The electronics are woven into fabric in order to create a flexible circuit board that connects together all of the soldier\u2019s equipment, substitutes lots of batteries with one power source and removes heavy cabling.<\/p>\n
