Industry Partnerships is the College's dedicated service for fostering research collaborations between King's academics and the private sector.
We provide support across scales and disciplines, and throughout the engagement lifecycle. From identifying opportunities and bringing together potential partners, to shaping optimal collaboration models, closing agreements and managing long-term strategic relationships.
Our team can work closely with interested companies, understand their needs and challenges, and help them navigate effectively King's expertise landscape. Equally, we can support our academics in their existing, or sought after, interactions with industry and help establish sustainable partnerships with Corporates and SMEs.
Industry Partnerships is the go-to service for both internal staff and external companies keen on collaborating and utlising academic research to solve real-life problems.
