We are excited to announce that The Department of Chemistry at The University of Manchester is holding a free-to-attend Academia-Industry event, at the Alliance Manchester Business School (AMBS), Booth Street West, in Manchester M15 6PB on Tuesday 19th March 2024.

There will be talks from CPI (Centre for Process Innovation), Innovate UK-KTN, and the Business Development team at UoM.
Manchester Innovation, Commercialisation and Collaboration: A session on commercialisation of research, successful academic-industrial collaborations and the new exciting developments for innovation within the NW and Manchester. Including presentations from Northern Gritstone, ID Manchester and industrial collaborators.
The University’s Business Engagement and Knowledge Exchange teams will be in attendance to present and discuss potential funding opportunities for industrial collaboration and there will also be posters and opportunities to discuss the research presented.
