Academic research drives much of the innovation that improves their lives. Whilst most large companies recruit talent from universities, relatively few are engaged in collaborative research relationships. When such collaborations are formed, they can work well; ask Microsoft, Apple, Rolls Royce and many other iconic organisations. But much of the
brilliant research that takes place at universities stays invisible to the businesses and investors which might help transform it for the real world.
That’s where Unities can help. Firstly, they enable companies to find the right experts, lab facilities and existing intellectual property – by subject matter, reputation and location. Then they work with both sides to ensure the collaborative effort stays focused, on time and on budget.
