Joint Research & Development

For businesses wishing to develop products, innovative processes and new insights, Engineering and the Environment is an ideal partner.

We work with businesses of various sizes in both the public and voluntary sectors across the UK. In the past three years alone, we have worked with over 100 different partners from many business sectors, including aerospace, automotive, ship/marine, manufacturing, energy (oil, gas), bioengineering, packaging, materials, surface engineering and coatings.

Government and EU funding

Through working with us, partners can gain access to additional government and EU research funding, which small businesses would otherwise have no hope of accessing.

For all research activity, R&D tax credits are likely to be available – see www.inlandrevenue.gov.uk/randd . Contact the Research Institute for Industry for further information.
