Sector Development & Corporate Partnerships

This team supports the promotion and funding of impact, engagement and project development. The team works in interdisciplinary, thematic groups, addressing Faculty priorities for project development and/or income generation.

Exeter Innovation supports our internal academic community and external businesses, government bodies, and other external organisations in sector-facing teams and corporate partnership teams.

These teams work to accelerate partner engagement by brokering relationships and facilitating discussions and by building a community of industrial and government connections. By connecting academics and businesses more effectively, they support the development of new knowledge, technologies and solutions for businesses and identify multidisciplinary opportunities and stimulating research questions.
