Mae prosiect Agor IP yn dod ag academyddion, clinigwyr a busnesau ynghyd i gynnal ymchwil arloesol i'r technolegau diweddaraf un ac i sbarduno llwyddiant masnachol.

Heddiw, wrth i'r prosiect gael ei lansio mewn digwyddiad ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe, bydd cyfle i roi sylw i'r gwaith arloesol sy'n cael ei wneud eisoes o ganlyniad i'r prosiect.   
  
Mae'n cynnwys ap a ddatblygwyd er mwyn helpu i atal anhwylderau bwyta, a phrawf gwaed syml a allai ei gwneud yn haws i feddygon teulu wneud diagnosis o ganser y coluddyn. Datblygwyd y ddau mewn partneriaeth rhwng Bwrdd Iechyd Aneurin Bevan a gwyddonwyr ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe.  
  
Mae prosiect Agor IP wedi cael cymorth o £6\.7 miliwn oddi wrth Lywodraeth Cymru a Chronfa Datblygu Rhanbarthol Ewrop, a darparwyd cyllid ychwanegol gan Brifysgol Abertawe.     
  
Prifysgol Abertawe sy'n arwain y cynllun, a ddechreuodd ym mis Ionawr 2016 ac a fydd yn para tan fis Rhagfyr 2020\. Mae'n cydweithio gyda'r GIG a phartneriaid diwydiannol i droi ymchwil arloesol yn gynhyrchion, yn brosesau ac yn wasanaethau newydd.    
  
Wrth siarad cyn y digwyddiad, dywedodd Ken Skates, Ysgrifennydd yr Economi:   



> "Mae prosiect Agor IP yn un sydd wir yn haeddu cael ei ddathlu. Mae gan brosiectau fel yr ap i atal anhwylderau bwyta, a ddatblygwyd mewn partneriaeth â Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Aneurin Bevan, y potensial i greu canlyniadau gwirioneddol ac i sbarduno manteision economaidd.
> 
> "Mae'r prosiect yn ychwanegu gwerth gi iawn at ein nodau arloesi ac yn dangos i'r byd fod Llywodraeth Cymru yn ymrwymedig i droi ymchwil academaidd yn ganlyniadau a fydd o fudd i fywydau pobl Cymru ac i'n heconomi ehangach. Mae prosiectau fel hyn yn hollbwysig er mwyn hyrwyddo Cymru fel lle y gall busnesau o bedwar ban byd droi ato er mwyn manteisio ar arloesedd, creadigrwydd a thechnoleg.”

Dywedodd yr Ysgrifennydd Iechyd, Vaughan Gething:   



> "Mae prosiect Agor IP yn frith o enghreifftiau lle mae meysydd gwyddoniaeth a gofal iechyd yn cydweithio ac ar ar flaen y gad ym maes arloesi clinigol. Dwi'n gadarn o blaid gweld y GIG yn cydweithio'n hyderus â phartneriaid mewn prifysgolion a diwydiant, gan gysylltu technolegau a gwasanaethau iechyd gwell â chyfleoedd i hybu twf economaidd yng Nghymru."

Dros y 12 mis diwethaf, mae Agor IP wedi cefnogi bron 100 o gyfleoedd masnachol, sy'n denu cryn fuddsoddiad o'r sector preifat ac yn helpu i greu swyddi crefftus sy'n talu'n dda.   
  
Mae'r rhain yn amrywio o offer digidol ar gyfer myfyrwyr prifysgol, dyfeisiau meddygol cyfnod cynnar, dyfeisiau diagnostig a therapiwtig ar gyfer canser, technoleg lân, a llawer o brosiectau ar y cyd â Byrddau Iechyd GIG Cymru.

The Agor IP project brings together academics, clinicians and businesses to pioneer research into cutting\-edge technologies and drive commercial success. 

Today’s launch event in Swansea University will showcase some of the innovative work already underway as a result of the project.   
  
This includes an app developed to help prevent eating disorders, and a simple blood test that could make it easier for GPs to diagnose bowel cancer. Both have been developed in a partnership between Aneurin Bevan Health Board and scientists at Swansea University.   
  
The Agor IP project has been backed by £6\.7m from the Welsh Government and the European Regional Development Fund with additional funding from Swansea University.    
  
Led by Swansea University, the scheme, which began in January 2016 and runs until December 2020, works with the NHS and industrial partners to turn innovative research into new products, processes and services.   
  
Speaking ahead of the event, Economy Secretary Ken Skates said: 


> “The Agor IP project is one that is truly worthy of celebration. Projects like the app to prevent eating disorders developed in partnership with Aneurin Bevan University Health Board have the potential to drive tangible results and economic benefits.
> 
> “The project is adding genuine value to our innovation goals and demonstrating to the world that the Welsh Government is committed to translating academic research into results that benefit the lives of Welsh people and our wider economy. Projects like these are crucial in promoting Wales as a global location of choice for innovation, creativity and technology.”

Health Secretary Vaughan Gething said: 


> “The Agor IP project is full of examples where science and healthcare are working together at the forefront of clinical innovation. I strongly support the NHS working confidently with university and industry partners, linking better health technologies and services to economic growth opportunities in Wales.”

Over the last 12 months Agor IP has supported nearly 100 commercial opportunities, which are attracting significant private sector investment and helping create highly skilled, well paid jobs.

These range from digital tools for university students, early stage medical devices, diagnostics and therapeutics for cancer, clean technology and many collaborations with NHS Wales Health Boards.
