We adopt a proactive and progressive approach to building an ongoing dialogue with our partners, building a better understanding of each other’s environment with a view to working with our stakeholders to co create innovative solutions to organisational and societal challenges.
In today's global environment, the successful creation and transfer of knowledge is an increasingly fundamental element for businesses pursuing real competitive advantage.

We are a diverse and truly multidisciplinary university and a significant repository of expertise and knowledge. Working together, we can help you access this valuable resource to support your specific objectives.
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.
