Innovating Together – Universities of the North East. Working to grow our region's economy.

The UK Government has placed research, innovation and skills at the centre of its longer term economic plan. Delivering the ambitions of the innovation strategy requires collaboration between universities and business.

In the North East of England, our region's five universities are already working together to support innovation, economic growth and inward investment.

More than 465 projects involving two or more of the five universities have been delivered with a research value of £243m.

Together, we:

  • deliver free innovation support to SMEs 
  • create new companies, jobs and investment opportunities
  • co-create intellectual property and knowledge exchange with
    • businesses
    • the public sector
    • voluntary, community and social enterprise sector
