Industry Forums

UON’s Northamptonshire industry forums are designed to support businesses across the board in all sectors. These forums provide peer-to-peer support for businesses from start-ups to large companies. All forums are open to those who want to share knowledge and best practice, ask for advice, and work together on challenges within their industry. At the heart of the forums is UON’s ambition to explore ways in which it can support your business in a variety of ways including:

• Supporting Your Recruitment and connecting with the future workforce e.g., student placements and work experience, graduate recruitment, engaging with careers fairs, guest lectures
• Knowledge Exchange and supporting innovation, e.g., Knowledge Transfer Partnerships, Academic Consultancy, Industry Projects, Research
• Commercialisation, e.g., CPD, IP advice, UON facilities and equipment

Our industry forums provide you with the opportunity to:

Network and collaborate

Our forums bring together experts, stakeholders, and enthusiasts from across various sectors. Connect with like-minded people, potential collaborators, and potentially mentors to build relationships. Collaborate on local issues, challenges, projects, and business opportunities.
