Our Services

Business with Birmingham develops and grows relationships with many commercial businesses, small and large. We identify challenges of mutual interest and introduce academia to companies in their area of research. We broker the development of project proposals and assist the set-up contracts for collaboration.

Our support for business varies depending on the industry collaborator, academic or project - there are no standard approaches. For organisations new to collaborating with the University, we establish industry visits, create detailed briefings and develop a holistic understanding of the business's challenge. We then translate academic concepts into industry-ready ideas.

Our five Colleges, 7,500 staff members and leading-edge facilities can be accessed in the following ways:
