Why partner with UTS?
We partner with organisations that value creativity and technology to drive positive change and achieve business success. Our partners benefit from our transdisciplinary approach, which integrates expertise and resources from our diverse disciplines and research centres.
We simplify the partnership process. You'll have a dedicated contact to navigate your engagement with our university and community. Through practical, outcome-oriented research and training, we give our partners a competitive edge.
What it’s like to partner with us
We find a shared problem
Knowing where to begin with a business problem, idea or opportunity can be challenging. Together, we identify shared problems and goals that can be addressed or achieved through new knowledge. This could include personalised training programs, researching an idea, product development and testing or marketing and communication. We'll meet with you to carefully pinpoint your challenges or opportunities and determine how we can best help.
Our partnerships:
- have aligned goals
- deliver shared and measurable (financial or non-financial) benefits
- are focused on solving complex problems
- leverage the expertise across our university.
We make it easy
You will have a dedicated contact to help guide your engagement with our university. Our support includes assisting with your initial brief, contracts and helping to create and coordinate the partnership agreement and plan. We will connect you with the right people and help with access to our facilities. Your organisation will also appoint a lead relationship manager to coordinate activities alongside our dedicated contact.
Design a solution
Because each situation is unique, we apply a transdisciplinary approach, drawing from world leading expertise and state of the art facilities to identify the best solution. Establishing relevant relationships across all levels of UTS and partner organisations is crucial to finding the most effective outcomes.
Delivering on goals
Our partnerships are guided by a strategic agreement overseen by a dedicated partnership committee. Twice a year, senior executives from UTS and our partner organisation meet to discuss shared priorities and monitor progress.
The lead relationship managers from both UTS and the partner organisation support the committee and broadly coordinate the activities outlined in the agreement.
Each initiative, program, or project resulting from the agreement is also managed by a designated stream lead from each organisation. These leads collaborate to develop and manage their respective areas, working towards achieving mutual objectives. The lead relationship managers oversee these efforts.
Deliver maximum impact
We achieve measurable outcomes through transformative partnerships that bring together industry and UTS.
