Linking Businesses and Universities

I was invited this morning to take part in a workshop set up by the Royal Institute of Engineering - we were asked to consider how Universities can get SMEs more involved in working with them.

Unis have a good track record of developing relationships with larger companies - we were regaled with case studies of companies like Cogent, who have worked with academics on developing amazing clever new kinds of magnet.

Despite my initial scepticism, I came away with some ideas on how collaboration can be developed.

And a big pile of business cards, of course!

I have lots of ideas, most of which require me to collaborate with others to implement.

Who could you be collaborating with in a way that will help realise your visions?

All the best,
