Collaboration opportunities

Our mission is to facilitate the use of University knowledge, skills and facilities to foster innovation and growth in businesses and organisations and create a positive impact on the economy and our future sustainability.

Our teams can give access to the skills and facilities you are looking for and help you collaborate with us to further your innovation, societal impact and growth. Contact us collaborate@surrey.ac.uk.

We understand that some growing businesses need support to fund R&D and so we also offer a number of publicly funded programmes that help everyone to have the opportunity to collaborate with us.
