Business Schools and Higher Education

Tim and Professor at University of Bath Business School

We collaborate with universities and business schools to bring real-world innovation into academic environments. From commercialising research and launching student ventures, to embedding live business challenges into the classroom, we create high-impact partnerships that bridge theory and practice.

What We
Offer

Research Commercialisation & Industry Collaboration

Turn academic research into real-world impact.

We help universities connect research outputs with commercial partners, translating innovation into market-ready solutions. From IP strategy to partner engagement, we create pathways for applied research to reach industry and society.

Faculty Engagement Through Guest Lectures and Workshops

Bridge industry and academia through expert-led dialogue.

We design and deliver interactive sessions that bring industry perspectives into academic programs. Faculty benefit from practitioner insights, while students gain exposure to current trends, tools, case studies from real ventures, and experience for their CV.

Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Program Design

Shape the next generation of innovators.

We co-create enterprise programs that blend academic rigour with practical experience. Our tailored approach supports entrepreneurship education across disciplines, encouraging creativity, resilience, and start-up literacy from undergrad to exec level.

Live Venture Projects for Students and Executive Learners

Bring real business challenges into the learning experience.

We embed active venture projects into degree programs, giving students and executive learners exposure to real start-up dynamics, decision-making, and innovation processes. These engagements energise learning and sharpen commercial thinking.

Ecosystem Development Around Innovation Hubs

Build thriving communities around academic centres.

We work with universities to strengthen their role as anchors of local and global innovation ecosystems. From mapping key stakeholders to designing engagement strategies, we help institutions become catalysts for cross-sector collaboration.

Ad Hoc Support

On-demand input when timing matters most.

We provide flexible, short-notice support for institutions facing tight timelines, critical decisions, or sudden opportunities. Whether it’s shaping a proposal, providing industry input at short notice, or unblocking a project, we’re ready to assist when it counts.
