May 2024 newsletter

Engage with senior leaders from universities and companies worldwide on the key themes of Skills & Talent, Educational Transformation, Discovery & Innovation and Societal Impact.

Throughout 2024 we plan to build on the conversations that took place during January’s Industry Forum in Shenzhen to inspire more innovation and collaboration on the above themes. We will be publishing a range of resources, holding impactful webinars and invitation only round-table seminars as part of our continued engagement with our rapidly growing global community. We’re actively looking for support from pioneering organisations at the forefront of university-industry collaboration for innovation, sustainability, impact and skill development. Please take a moment to review partnership opportunities and get in touch to explore this further with us.
