Founder, Contributor and Sponsor benefits.

Above all, as a participant you can use CUC as a 'Tool' to suit your needs. The flexibility of CUC will enable participants to use it as any, or all, of the following:

• A training tool
• A marketing tool
• A research & development tool
• A networking tool
  

• Access to a facility that, by the nature and diversity of its industry participants, is able to provide high quality, theoretical and practical training programmes for the underground construction sector – thus providing a cost effective alternative to time consuming, expensive and often inadequate "in-house" training of employees.
• Access to a facility that may be used by participating companies for the instruction and training of their customers (real & potential) in the use of their materials, products and techniques.
• The availability of a facility where actual underground conditions may be simulated and experienced.
• Active participation in an industry network where joint, or individual, Research & Development projects can be established and co-ordinated.
• Company sponsored Events will enable companies to describe and demonstrate, to a selectively invited audience, new products and systems.
• The opportunity to network with other participants of CUC and establish working relationships for mutual benefit.
• The introduction, through networking, of companies to new and extended markets for their products.
• Increased market exposure to bodies outside CUC by the inclusion of articles and press releases about participants in the bi-annually published CUC Newsletter.
• Inclusion of participants in the proposed CUC website, www.icguc.com, which will act as a showcase for CUC and contain links to its Founders, Contibutors and Sponsors websites.
