Even as we enjoy some much needed summer sun and downtime, the innovation never stops. We come to you this month with an array of news on initiatives by Imperial startups to make a global impact, and collaborative research on everything from computers to sustainable sofas with industry leaders and valued Imperial partners AMD, BASF, DFS, Molecular Dimensions, and IBM.
Once you’ve caught up on your summer reading, join us this September with that back-to-school feeling for a smorgasbord of in-person events that will help you discover Imperial’s scientific capabilities and learn how to access them. You never know when a chance conversation with an Imperial innovator could lead to a transformative opportunity for your business.
I hope to see you soon at one of our events. For queries and conversations about how we can support your business, we warmly invite you as ever to get in touch.
