Leeds Beckett University has opened the doors to a new professional, city centre space for the regional business community to meet, collaborate and access the University’s academic expertise and student talent.
The Knowledge Exchange is located on the first floor of the Rose Bowl on Portland Way – the home of Leeds Business School.
The hub offers a range of private meeting spaces and open workspaces for working, meeting colleagues and clients, and connecting with the university’s business support services, academics and students.
Natalie Allen, head of Business Partnerships at Leeds Beckett University, said: “Knowledge exchange is about taking all our research, knowhow and support available at the university and bringing this to the business community – to exchange ideas, evidence, and expertise.
“It’s a great process for translating academic study into usable and transferable management capabilities.
“That is why we have created The Knowledge Exchange – we are committed to making the interaction with the university simple. This is a physical front door to the University for us to support businesses in our region to be sustainable, to innovate, and to grow strategically.”
