Innovation is fundamental to maintaining a competitive edge in industry but sometimes time and financial constraints can prevent you from developing innovative ideas that could become an important source of revenue in the future. We can help you source funding opportunities, new technologies, and expertise and can even help you find ways to fund new staff to work on your research and development projects. We are committed to advancing basic, applied and commercially-viable research. With over 850 full-time academics and an extensive range of facilities we can offer industry an efficient and effective means of developing ideas into tangible and socially beneficial projects.
