Our consultancy services give you easy access to more than 3,000 world-class academic consultants undertaking research in a wide range of disciplines.
The University of Edinburgh is host to an extensive range of expertise, facilities and services that are available to companies and other organisations on a consultancy basis as a flexible, high-value resource.
Whether you are looking to increase your competitiveness, develop new products or processes, or exploit new market opportunities, our academic consultants can provide expertise on a flexible, short- or long-term basis to help solve challenges facing private and public-sector organisations.
Edinburgh Innovations works closely with companies to identify the right expertise and facilities for every project.
