How university staff and postgraduates can help your business.
Department of Trade and Industry figures* show that companies which work with universities are more successful than those who don’t. In many cases these companies double their market share, cut unit costs by 65 per cent and double the quality of their product. Through various types of consultancy and job placement, university staff and postgraduates give the expertise to allow large corporates and SMEs to become more innovative and to help to solve problems that are limiting company growth.Need help for your business?
