      The Purpose

      Each collaboration has a different specialism that utilises the strengths of the university and delivers a number of initiatives, including deep and commercially useful insights to businesses, amplifying growth, innovation and productivity in regional economies.  They will also explore joint initiatives regarding sectorial industry insights, skill building, learning opportunities and the sharing of collaboration space.


      The Benefits

      • Driving Local Insights

        Each partnership has been developed with a specific market, sector or issue focus, where KPMG and the university can together deliver insights that drive business benefits

      • Advanced Data Analytics

        Bringing together specialists from the Universities and KPMG, the partnerships will develop new research and provide fresh insights that will enhance data and analytics services for businesses.
