The Home of Cutting Edge Thinking
By expanding into Nottinghamshire, your business could benefit from pioneering commercially-focussed research carried out by institutes including:
• The University of Nottingham co-hosts, with the Universities of Birmingham and Loughborough, the £1.1bn UK Energy technologies Institute (ETI) which aims to overcome major barriers to the deployment of low carbon energy. The ETI is a company formed by partnership between Rolls-Royce, E.ON, BP, Shell, EDF and Caterpillar and UK government agencies.
