Commercial Solutions
Development of any kind is vital to any industry, and The University of Nottingham is well placed to aid you when it comes to your firm’s growth.
We work with a wide range of businesses, from large international firms to small local companies, on a truly varied array of projects.
Research and Development
Research and Development can be expensive to maintain in-house, so making use of our knowledge and resources is an extremely cost-effective way to stay ahead of the game, especially if you take advantage of some of the funding options available to you.
There are several different ways in which you can fund this activity:
-
you can finance it entirely yourself, thereby ensuring your needs are the primary focus
-
you can apply to obtain governmental funding for your project
-
you could share the costs of a group research project with companies which would also benefit from the results
Knowledge and Facilities
We can provide the people and facilities to undertake the following:
-
short or long-term research projects of your choosing
-
technical expertise for new product or process development
-
utilising our testing facilities and equipment for new products or processes
-
the development of solutions to comply with changing legislation
-
the use of our technology centres to optimise innovation in specific areas
The whole interaction we have with the University is extremely friendly. This isn’t contract research, it’s about respect, about working together and about giving the researchers the freedom to work – and through this freedom comes inspiration and innovation.
