Working with us

Collaboration is at the core of everything we do - bringing together industry, academia, government, and the wider community to address the challenges of today and tomorrow.

Through regional engagement and the generous support of our sponsors and research funders, we are driving forward innovation, digital transformation, and skills development across the UK and beyond. Initiatives supported by partners such as the Royal Academy of Engineering and Airbus are helping regional SMEs embrace Industry 4.0 technologies and build smarter, more connected supply chains.

At the same time, contributions from a broad network of sponsors - spanning public funding bodies, global industries, and leading academic institutions - have enabled us to establish world-class facilities and conduct cutting-edge research.
