The Network aims to enhance the competitiveness of its members by:-
- encouraging product, process and business innovation
- providing a forum for identification, analysis and dissemination of new techniques,
technology and practice
- promoting the exchange of information and experience on issues of mutual interest and
importance.
The diversity of the members in terms of their size, processes and the markets which
they service is a key factor in the Network’s success in achieving these goals.

TVT is a consultancy business which specialises in working with technology companies
and organisations. Network members have access to both consultancy and action based learning services at special, reduced
rates.

The Network was formed to encourage and facilitate wider exploitation of new ideas as
the basis for growth and development by business and industry.
For, while the UK boasts some of the most innovative and globally competitive
companies, overall, both nationally and regionally, our competitiveness and wealth
creating capacity falls well short of those of many other advanced, industrialised
nations. The Network aims to help to redress this situation, through the sharing of ideas
and information and encouraging innovation in all aspects of the enterprise.
The Network represents a low cost, low risk but effective mechanism for managers to
learn from the experience of others.
