The document discusses knowledge transfer networks and accelerating business innovation through a Technology Strategy Board programme. Specifically, it discusses efforts to commercialize graphene applications by establishing a graphene value chain network. This network aims to connect all relevant players, including graphene raw material suppliers, capability and input enablers, and those developing and commercializing graphene-enabled applications, to help speed the journey of graphene from research to commercialization.
