This project builds a sound evidence-base around our existing products and creates a robust technical framework for three new markets; clean rooms, cold rooms and flexible spaces. It will set our growth, diversification and R&amp;amp;D agenda for the next 5 years during which we expect to see our turnover doubled.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
