Technology CollaborationTechnology transfer can help forward-thinking businesses and organisations accelerate the pace of innovation and bring competitive advantage in the marketplace.

Collaboration breeds competitive advantage. Knowledge transfer partnerships are about transferring good ideas, research results and skills that reside within higher education, into business to enable innovative new products and services to be developed. They can provide your business with the resources and expertise you need to help you to innovate, expand and improve your profitability.

Our Enterprise Europe Network offers support and advice to help businesses make the most out of business development opportunities in the European Union.

The R&D Collaborative Service provides support to businesses and universities to participate in collaborative R&D projects particularly those funded by the EU Framework Programme and the Technology Strategy Board Programme.
