CPI
has joined with CPACT to form a mutually beneficial relationship with the aim
of improving innovation in UK process industries. CPACT recognises that CPI can
be a proactive shop window for CPACT capabilities and offer access to test,
scale-up and pilot facilities. CPI equally can take advantage of the wealth of
experience across the member universities and access the industrial and
academic network that the group can put us in touch with in many different
fields.
CPI acts as a catalyst bringing together academia,
businesses, government and investors to translate bright ideas and research
into the marketplace. We do this by giving our customers access to the right
experts, equipment, networks, funding and more – connecting the dots for
effective innovation.
We are a leading independent technology innovation centre
and a founding member of the UK Government’s High Value Manufacturing Catapult.
Established in 2004, our teams tirelessly apply their many years of experience
to ensure that every great invention gets the best opportunity to become a
successfully marketed product or process. We work with our partners across
diverse markets in the UK and around the world, driving their innovations
forward and helping them to reduce the risk and cost associated with product
development.
