Incubator is intended to facilitate using technology to deliver research solutions by bringing together designers, developers, academics and researchers, as well as sector and marketing specialists.

“Over the past couple of years we’ve seen the research industry using digital technologies more and more, in line with where consumers are going,” said Clough.

“Through bringing together creative people with developers and researchers we are able to provide solutions that may not currently exist or adapt them for use within research if they are available elsewhere.”
