University/business research links
With strong links between universities and business, world leaders like Visteon, Ford and BAE Systems have based their own research and development centres in Essex. Many other companies have partnered with universities to enhance their own research capacity and draw on the expertise available.
Local universities have a long history of working with Essex companies to add business value through collaborative research, knowledge transfer partnerships, access to expertise through consultancy, management training and conference facilities, as well as support for growing businesses and start-ups.
