  20. Key Points of Differentiation • Consortium – Shared Service • High Skilled and Networked Business People. • Incentives aligned on OUTPUT measures and the interests of the inventors and universities. • Self funding, apart from an initial pump prime of cash from the University. • It is a non-exclusive arrangement, in addition to existing or future independent initiatives or relationships with other external bodies. • It brings new, untapped opportunities to the University and academics that would not otherwise be seen. • It can also be used to improve existing relationships and increase financial returns. • It incurs no risk on the part of the universities and is legally independent from the participating universities.
