Welcome

Taking part in Knowledge Transfer Partnerships or collaborative research can help you develop your business through access to academic expertise that you don't have in-house.

Joining one or more of the regional research and innovation networks can help you build connections with innovators, academic experts and investors, and our consultancy services make it easy for organisations to access specialist facilities and equipment, alongside academic expertise.
