Who we work with

We’re dedicated to bridging the gap between academia and industry, and our collaborative partners reflect that. We work across organisations to pull inventions quickly from the laboratory, through pilot process and scale-up, to commercialisation. Why do our partners work with us? We significantly reduce time to market, and we cut the costs of commercialisation.
