Local Links: Collaboration’s role in building stronger places

Solutions

We don’t just generate ideas, but also solutions.

Our approach and strategic, cross-sector network linking universities, business and government is unlike any other. We bring our members together to leverage the skills and talent fostered by our universities and to strengthen further the UK’s world-class research and development.

‘Local Links’ is the National Centre for Universities and Business’ (NCUB) latest addition to our showcasing series where we celebrate and share the best of NCUB member collaborations. In this edition, we showcase how collaborations between our universities and businesses are helping local communities and places. By working together, universities and businesses can make a significant contribution to their local areas.

In Local Links, NCUB has collated ten collaboration case studies from across the country that demonstrate the vital role of collaboration in supporting local economies. We celebrate collaborations that are plugging local skills gaps, that are supporting local flagship industries and are delivering goods and services that local communities desperately need.
