Research collaboration

Does your company need research-based knowledge, equipment and know-how?
Development and growth at an increasing number of businesses is based on research and innovation. At the same time, there is an increasing demand that the value of research should be supported through industrial partners in research projects.

This means our knowledge and technologies help to create entirely new products and services underpinned by research-based knowledge, and cross-disciplinary solutions that create value in both new and existing contexts.
