We believe that scientific collaborations should solve real-world problems and bring a positive impact to society. We facilitate and accelerate the bench-to-bedside journeys by connecting the right partners from industry and academia at the right time. Our intelligent matchmaking platform (Connect), and bespoke scouting tool (Discover) provide an opportunity for a global network of decision-makers to collaborate around novel innovations and expertise to establish meaningful partnerships. Connect is an online matchmaking platform subscribed to by 250+ universities and research institutes to connect with industry teams in 6,000+ companies to commercialise academic innovations and expertise that are available and seeking collaboration. Discover is a bespoke scouting platform used by innovation-driven companies to profile the global landscape of academia across an active network of 2,600 institutes, either through ‘Industry Calls for Opportunities’ or ‘Request for Proposal’ campaigns that find and confirm potential solutions to specific R&D challenges or requirements. Since launching Connect in 2014 we’ve initiated over 13,000 new conversations between teams in academia and industry, with 75% of these being international. More recently, through Discover, we’ve made available over £30-million in industry funding for new academic research. IN-PART has offices in Sheffield and London, with a team of 50 employees, and was recently acquired by Inova who provide an end-to-end partnering management solution.
