The University of Salford collaborates with businesses of all types, ranging from SMEs through to public organisations, non-profits and large corporates to drive innovation and growth using the University’s world-class research, facilities and connections.

Our services support businesses at different stages of their journey, whether they are looking to develop a new product or service, become more productive and sustainable, scale up their activity or upskill their workforce. The University does this by drawing upon expertise from a vast range of sectors and disciplines to provide companies with a bespoke business solution or, to plug knowledge gaps using specialised research. Finally, we can also team up with industry as an academic partner on collaborative R+D projects, as well as help businesses access funding streams, many of which are only available through working with a university.
