What ADI offers

We give Yorkshire's technology companies direct access to world-class industry expertise and insight, hands-on experience and practical advice. We can help you develop the technical and strategic solutions you need to take your new ideas to market successfully.

We can make sure your business benefits from the new paradigms for technology development now available, giving you a crucial competitive edge.

Well connected
We want to give you informed and insightful direction and we are keen to share our “over the horizon” view of technical and business trends with your business. We make it easy for you to benefit from our well-established working partnerships with other research institutions and university departments. ADI is already the hub for a dynamic and growing network of high technology companies, large and small.

New systems
Through ADI's unique approach to enterprise mentoring and technical business development, your business gains access to the latest software, hardware and new design methodologies. We are committed to introducing these innovations to our partners and can help you integrate them into your operating and business models seamlessly and effectively.

Unlocking IP potential
ADI works with companies to identify and develop technology-centric opportunities. These opportunities may be enabled by intellectual property that already exists in that company’s portfolio, or by IP that needs to be identified and developed, or by IP exploited by synergistic combination with other technologies.

Advantageous partnerships
ADI works closely with universities to strategically mobilise valuable R&D resources adding further value to our own efforts. Exploitation of university based IP is another potentially valuable avenue for commercially exciting activity. ADI has strong links with several nationally recognised university departments.

Fostering opportunity
ADI works across a broad front in the high technology sector and with enterprises of all sizes. We provide technical and business support aimed at identifying technology enabled opportunities and ensuring that those opportunities are understood, developed and exploited.

Integrity assured
Companies partnering with ADI are assured of the highest standards of commercial integrity, discretion and confidentiality. These principles are fundamental to our business philosophy.
We are ready, prepared and able to engage with companies like yours using imaginative and innovative as well as tried and tested collaboration models.

Industrial Partners
ADI offers our industrial partners the opportunity to benefit from projects they would not otherwise be able to complete. Many projects are accelerated or made commercially viable by ADI’s resources, technology, platforms, tools and methodologies.

This includes projects that are seen as too long-term and high-risk to be attempted using scarce in-house resources, they may be currently background R&D ideas that need a push to market, or they could be projects that are mostly run in-house, but need the injection of a particular skill or resource that ADI can provide.

We can also help with developing commercial opportunities that come from our cross-industry vision - ways of realizing the value of the “hidden IP” in the region for the benefit of local companies.
