University of Leeds’ new innovation centre to combine academic and industrial expertise to deliver global, environmental solutions

Sep 27 2018

Set to open in January 2019, Nexus, the University of Leeds’ innovation centre will provide seamless access to academic expertise, facilities and talent across the University.

With a strong background in commercialisation and focus on collaboration, the University of Leeds has a proven track record of helping the business community, acting as a catalyst for growth and productivity. Nexus will build on this success, with a focus on health, data, environment and engineering.

Based in a brand new £40M building on the University campus, Nexus will feature state-of-the-art services including office and lab space, collaboration areas, events and meeting facilities. A dedicated team will be responsible for facilitating productive working partnerships and collaborations.

The delivery and implementation of Nexus is led by Dr. Martin Stow, whose ambition is to ensure Nexus becomes an innovation powerhouse in the North, bringing together a vibrant community of innovators, to deliver commercial impact and generate economic growth within the Leeds City Region and beyond.

Dr Stow stated, “Together we will bring our world-class ideas, concepts and technologies to deliver breakthrough solutions to real world, market-based problems. I see Nexus changing the mindset and culture in which universities and industry work together, promoting new standards of working and generating economic growth.”
