Now is a great time for businesses to consider developing their ideas through a PhD. With the need to develop new ideas and new products in an ever evolving marketplace, getting genuinely independent, expert and objective input from a PhD student is a unique way of accelerating any form of research and development.
As a business, you can fund a PhD student or engage with a group of doctorate students. This will give you a dedicated and diverse expert resource to focus on a specific business challenge. Companies also enhance their competitiveness and innovation through knowledge transfer with universities and research institutions.
