Engage with TRAICE

TRAICE works with organisations to commercialise new technologies, access research expertise, recruit fresh talent and develop staff.

Product Commercialisation

We collaborate with partners to solve transport-related challenges directly via consultancy, and by co-creating solutions through KTPs. We can also help with IP support and with accessing various facilities.

Research Opportunities

Modern transport challenges are complex but can be addressed through collaboration. TRAICE works regularly with partners in industry, public, government and voluntary sectors. Depending on your project, timescale, priorities and budget, we can help your organisation.

Two other routes – collaborative research projects, and Research Council funded research projects are also possible. Contact TRAICE to discuss your needs.

By working together, we can often leverage funding to develop, innovate and succeed.
