Supporting UK Industry Through Research Collaboration

How can universities play a direct role in supporting UK industry, innovation and economic growth? In this video, Professor Tom Scott shares how the University of Bristol works in close partnership with industry to help companies develop new technologies, overcome complex materials and device challenges, and take ideas from early‑stage research through to commercialisation.

Our facilities at the School of Physics offer industry partners access to a unique portfolio of specialist instrumentation and expertise, valued at over £20 million. We offer flexible collaboration models, from targeted problem‑solving to large‑scale R&D programmes, supporting companies across the full technology readiness spectrum. Working closely with government and industry, we build long‑term skills pipelines that support innovation, spin‑outs and highly trained graduates.
