Working with IIB has helped us build some significant international links. Cecilia has done an amazing job organising conferences with me. She is so enthusiastic and committed and feedback on the day has been very, very positive about the conference and Cecilia. This gave a very positive message about the University of Exeter to delegates from more than 13 countries.

The IIB team makes the entire process of identifying and talking to companies, writing the proposals, and running the projects simple and easy, leaving me and the other engineers to tackle the technical problems.
