Exeter Innovation: Powering solutions, partnerships and growth in Cornwall
At the University of Exeter in Cornwall, we understand the region’s unique economy, geography and culture.
Since 2014, we've supported initiatives worth approximately £180 million to the South West.
By working with local businesses and organisations, we've created and safeguarded 223 jobs, backed 676 innovation projects, and upskilled over 1,000 individuals.
Our Exeter Innovation team can connect you with leading University experts, research and development solutions, and graduate talent. We can also provide you with business acceleration support, and help you discover how degree apprenticeships could develop your team.
Ways to work with us
Cornwall-based speciality coffee roaster Origin Coffee worked with our Sustainable Futures Team to research and develop more sustainable business practices in support of their B-Corp status.
"I assumed I’d eventually have to move away to find a job in engineering. But Cornwall has a strong offshore engineering and renewables sector and that hasn’t been the case."
