This could involve joint research and development projects, access to innovation centres or laboratory facilities, meeting staff development needs or accessing student talent and academic expertise. “Perhaps there is a particular piece of equipment or technical
expertise you want to access, or maybe you think the university could assist you with an R&D problem, but don’t know who to talk to. Enterprise Solutions can connect you to the University of Plymouth’s world-class knowledge and facilities.”
