TheBusinessDesk.com launches The Knowledge

A NEW channel showcasing collaboration between business and higher education in the West Midlands was launched by TheBusinessDesk.com this week.

From new spinouts and knowledge transfer partnerships, to executive education and consultancy, The Knowledge will focus on the work universities are doing to help business and the role the private sector is playing in supporting HE.

In addition to regularly updated news stories, The Knowledge will feature a monthly sector focus, looking at the work the West Midlands HE sector is doing in a particular business field, as well as a profile of one of the region’s universities and business schools.

The channel will also feature a regular interview with a key player in this field and a searchable directory of the courses on offer that could help the development of you and your business.

Editor Marc Reeves said: “Successful collaboration between the private sector and universities will become increasingly important in the future as innovation plays a key role in the UK economy remaining competitive globally.

“The Knowledge will highlight the best examples of work already happening in this area and encourage exciting new partnerships.”
