The first of these includes a contract with a leading UK telecommunications company to deliver a major security solution valued at £1.0m and the second is with a major UK government executive agency to provide a major networking project valued at £750k.

Eden Research said on Tuesday that it is "disappointing" to see that its share price has fallen since joining AIM, but was keen to emphasise that it will be "maximising the value of its IP [intellectual property] through the development of existing and new commercial opportunities". The company's European review process will be completed within the next 12 months, which the firm believes will inherently increase the value of the IP it has. In addition, next year the company expects to see the first product registrations coming through in the agrochemical sector, as well as sales of products which incorporate Eden's technologies in the animal health and biocide markets where the regulatory requirements are much simpler than in the agrochemicals sector.
