Business with Big Science Projects 
Difficult to ”get in” 
Technically very demanding 
One off / Prototype 
Very demanding customers 
Loads of paper work 
Fixed price contracts 
Low margins 
Solvent customers 
Often positive / neutral cashflow 
Extension of knowledge 
Customer paid development 
Spin off (technology, business) 
New business opportunities 
Profitable – (but not always)
