Join us at the Industry–Academia Impact Forum 2026 to explore how research, innovation, and collaboration are shaping real-world impact.
We are delighted to invite you to an invitation-only research forum followed by a networking lunch, bringing together senior government representatives, industry leaders, and The University of Manchester faculty and leadership to examine how structured university–industry partnerships translate research into competitive advantage, faster innovation outcomes, and future-ready talent. With opening remarks from The MoHESR and Professor Ken McPhail, Head of Alliance Manchester Business School, the programme offers case-led evidence and a peer forum to compare approaches, understand what delivers impact, and hear directly from those leading the work.
