The Liverpool Model

A revolutionary model, built on success.

The Liverpool Model is a unique and flexible approach to engaging with business, proven in our 10 year successful track record in operation.

Watch: A new way of thinking

The Liverpool model rethinks research, removing the frustrating and inefficient barriers of access.

The Materials Innovation Factory combines:

• Specialised space
• Flexible colocation options
• Differentiated equipment
• Differentiated methodology and software platforms
• Skilled technical support staff
• Network of hi-tech equipment/service providers
• Academic thought leaders.

Open access to all

We work with third parties, small and medium-sized enterprise (SME), and academics from various institutions under reasonable and fair commercial terms. We operate under simple intellectual property (IP) arrangements – i.e. all partners keep their own arising IP and share in common platform improvements.
