About Ignite+

We support business engagement


The Ignite+ logo

Ignite+ is a fully-funded event series from the University of Bath for businesses and external organisations to engage with us and discover how our research can address your challenges. Each Ignite+ event puts a spotlight on different sector themes, of which the University has strengths in both research and its external application. Businesses attending Ignite+ events can hear from our academic experts and engage in Q&As and round table discussions to explore how we can work together.
