The one complaint I've often heard from industry in the close to three years now that I've been an MP is that in R and D the research is very well done, but the development portion—getting it to market—is a sort of in-between section in the whole stage of developing from technology to commercial application; that in the middle there are a few weak links.
I don't know whether it's quite your area to comment on this, but I was curious whether you feel from your perspective, from your interaction with industry—you'd be more at the research stage than the final end stage—that this is accurate. If it is accurate, do you have any ideas to bridge that in-between gap to get things moving forward?
