[ogf20pc] Draft outline for industry track

[John Brooke]

Dear all,
On the local (Manchester) side we are confident that we can get at least 
one locally based pharma to present. This work involves a local regional 
Grid so it is a good case study for the use of such resources. I think 
this work is sufficiently practical to make other similar small 
bio-pharma startups see how they could apply this in their business today.

We will also work with the North West Development Agency to get other 
local industry along. Areas of industrial strength in the region are 
pharma, chemical engineering and aerospace. The NWDA funded the 
North-West Regional Grid and have sent a letter of support for OGF20 so 
their interest is strong.

I am not at SC06 but I will work on getting the above proposals firmed up.

Best wishes,
John Brooke
co-Director e-Science North-West
