Our partners
We’re working with 26 partners from world-leading technology businesses, industry and creative companies to local government and community organisations. By working together, we can build better digital futures for all.
Partners are engaged with our researchers in a wide variety of projects and events with community, civic or industry focus.
Discover some of our live partner projects in Explainable AI with LV=GI, network development with BT, skills gaps in the telecoms industry with TM Forum and the digital divide with Babbasa, Black South West Network and Knowle West Media Centre on our project pages.
Partners and researchers come together to make new connections, discuss projects and digital futures themes at our hosted seminars, conferences and symposia.
As we grow, facilities such as the Neutral Lab and Reality Emulator will make new kinds of digital research possible at our Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus hub.
This is what some of our partners had to say about working with us during our May 2022 symposium:
