How SEKE can benefit you

One of the ways entrepreneurs and small companies can benefit from working with SEKE is by becoming part of a network of people using the technology at each of the sites. Networking and cluster creation can be highly beneficial, especially for smaller organisations working in technical fields across different industries.

SEKE is also expert in working with clients to prepare proposals to secure project funding, particularly in Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs).

These are projects, part-funded by the Government, to help businesses get the benefit of top quality expertise by matching their needs with the knowledge available in universities, colleges and research institutions.

Getting the most out of SEKE

Through virtual systems and campus-based facilities, the partners offer fascinating visits, events and taster sessions, as well as assistance with design and prototyping projects, advice on engineering and performance analysis, and services in rapid processes for the realisation of products.

As a general rule SEKE will charge market rates for professional development education and commercial services but educational experiences for student visitors are undertaken at no cost. In the case of funded project proposals, the partners will normally assist in bid development free of charge on the basis that projected income will result from the work.
