We use mathematical modelling and analysis to accelerate business innovation.

We bring fresh ideas to (difficult) problems in design, operations and strategy across a full range of business sectors.

We exploit opportunities to transfer ideas that have established application in other domains.

The unparalleled versatility of mathematics

How we work

Our Technology Translators provide a flexible point of contact, where we match business requirements with mathematical know-how and turn results into exploitable actions.

The Institute combines its in-house expertise with the cutting-edge ideas and experience of the UK’s leading university research groups.

We manage the Knowledge Transfer Network for Industrial Mathematics, which is a key component of the government’s Technology Strategy.

We use individual problems and projects as seeds to build the network of relationships that will underpin innovation in the longer term.
