Business Support

We can help you to find ways to grow your organisation, access skills and expertise from our diverse knowledge base, and recruit and develop new talent.

You can use our facilities to test and develop ideas and processes, open up new markets and invest in our technology, and find out about funding and R&D tax breaks for collaborative research with a trusted partner.

We invite you to join and network with our campus community at our events, or work alongside us by hiring office, laboratory and hot desk spaces when you’re back for a reunion or in the areas.
