Academia Meets Industry: Fostering Innovation

Academia and industry can offer each other distinct perspectives, opportunities and skills. Bringing scientific and commercial expertise together can fast-track product development, industry efficiencies, and novel solutions. But how do academic-industry partnerships start, develop, and succeed?

This event will demystify the complexities of collaboration between industry and academia.

Through keynote speakers and an interactive panel discussion we will showcase successful collaboration projects, highlight tangible outcomes, and signpost routes to collaboration.
