Industrial partners

The Maxwell Centre recognises that there is no "one-size-fits-all" solution for engagement with external partners. We work with companies on finding out specific synergies between Cambridge research, expertise and community in the context of their business, and facilitate interactions to deliver outcomes beneficial for both sides. Cambridge has numerous industry-academia interaction models to select from (see Getting involved), and are will be happy to discuss any specific interests and needs to be able to offer advice on growing the partnership.

Below we list companies currently engaged with the Maxwell Centre Programme. Please note that this list is ever expanding, with several more companies expected to be also listed here in near future.
