Expertise and support for businesses
Where is your next innovation going to come from? Are you looking to develop new products, but lack the time and resources to do so? Do you want to explore new technologies through feasibility studies and prototypes? Do you feel the skills gap, and can't find the expertise your need to develop your business?
We can help transform your business - with our world-leading research and a proven history of delivering cutting-edge and game-changing projects within the industry, we possess the expertise to revolutionise your business. From our Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) projects to our consultancy services and professional training programmes, we are dedicated to sharing our knowledge and driving innovation in the business realm.
Industrial practice is both a source of inspiration and measure of success for our teaching and research. Co-operation with industry, co-ordinated through our Industrial Advisory Board (IAB), takes the form of mentoring, jointly supervised students projects and placements, consulting and training, as well as support in careers and recruitment. Please get in touch (reiko@mcs.le.ac.uk) to find out the most suitable form of co-operation for your problem.
