Collaborating with us can help your organisation move along a more progressive path, balancing your economic goals, with your social and environmental priorities. Loughborough Business School has a well-established history of relevant research – with world-leading expertise in areas such as sustainable supply chains, digitalisation, the circular economy, decarbonisation, employee wellbeing and more.

Much of our research in developed in partnership with business and public sector organisations. Talk to us about a problem you’re facing and we can co-create research that’s directly relevant to your organisation, either as a consultancy project or Knowledge Transfer Partnership.

Consultancy

Work with individual academics or an expert team at Loughborough drawn from different areas of cutting-edge research, to solve a particular challenge or introduce a new innovation in your business.

  • Enhance your organisation's research capabilities as you develop as a progressive, forward-thinking name in your industry.
  • Hire in trusted expertise to tackle time-critical and complex challenges.
  • For many of our clients, consultancy is the route to a mutually beneficial long-term research partnership.

We can help you apply for grants to fund or part-fund a research consultancy project.

Knowledge Transfer Partnership

Funding is also available for Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs). These projects work as a three-way collaboration between the University, a graduate and your organisation, where we all work together on a project geared towards your progressive growth.

  • KTPs are an ideal way to access the innovative ideas and skills of our research and innovation staff.
  • You can apply to work on any project that’s beneficial to your business growth, for example developing a new product, expanding into a new area or introducing a new performance-enhancing business model.
  • We’ll match you up with researchers and graduates who have skills and knowledge most relevant to what you need.

We’ll work with you to define the project and apply for government funding.

Let’s move things forward together
