Collaboration with industry

The Royal College of Art has been at the cutting edge of critical thinking, creative practice and design since its foundation in 1837. Our academic experts collaborate closely with small businesses, multinational corporations and enterprises as well as governments, universities and charities. We help them bring design, creativity and critical thinking to their day-to-day businesses and develop their innovation capabilities.

We share our state-of-the-art multidisciplinary research with external companies to transfer knowledge and create impact, moving beyond traditional knowledge exchange to focus on beneficial, long-term, two-way relationships with industry through collaboration.
