We created the platform to support universities and research & technology organisations to exploit and share their intellectual property.
After registering with the academic network, researchers are invited to share details of their work to receive specific methodical and technical feedback from our sector specialists and social and economic modelling teams.
We undertake a significant amount of analysis to provide the quantitative inputs into this process, confirming the viability of innovative research.
