The University of Exeter has launched an initiative to forge business partners and tackle challenges.

The Devon education establishment hopes Exeter Innovate will develop innovative solutions for today's challenges such as the climate crisis to the national skills shortage. The initiative will benefit organisations that want to work with the university, by helping them to connect with world-leading experts, develop skilled workforces, and access critical innovation support and facilities.

The University of Exeter works on collaborative projects with over 2,000 organisations each year – from the National Trust and Quorn Foods to South West Water and Channel 4 – and now ranks joint 18th globally in the influential THE Impact Rankings for progress towards UN Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs).

Earlier this week, the University celebrated strong results in the Knowledge Exchange Framework (KEF), a 海角视频RI assessment of 海角视频 institutions’ capability to support innovation and R&D, moving into the top quintile for its research collaborations with Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), and public and third sector organisations.

The establishment has also become the largest provider of degree apprenticeships in the Russell Group, supporting over 2,800 students and over 400 employer partners since launching its first programme in 2016. The new Centre for Degree Partnerships – launched this week by the 海角视频's Education Secretary, Gillian Keegan – is supported by Exeter Innovation.

Professor Lisa Roberts, president and vice-chancellor at the University of Exeter, said: “I am delighted to announce the launch of Exeter Innovation today. As we work to deliver our Strategy 2030 and advance progress towards a sustainable, healthy and socially just future, Exeter Innovation will play a central role – connecting partners with our world-leading academic community to create new solutions, products and services.”

Chris Evans, director of Exeter Innovation, added: “At Exeter Innovation, we work with organisations to understand their needs and connect them with the right researchers and educators for the task at hand. While our strengths are vast, our offer is simple. Whatever your needs – whether it’s workforce development, academic insight, or cutting-edge facilities – we will help you find the best solution."
