Our mission is to transform today’s industries and create tomorrow’s
We are NCC, a world-leading innovation organisation that transforms cutting edge research and technology into industrial impact.
We bridge the gap between academia and industry, helping companies of every size to capitalise on cutting-edge innovation to deliver more. An extension of our customers' capabilities, we demonstrate and de-risk new product development and manufacturing to validate technologies at rate and scale. We do this across the entire product lifecycle, from the earliest concept to end-of-life.
We provide businesses access to £300m state-of-the-art innovation facilities, engineering expertise, and leading research. A key partner in globally significant innovation programmes, we work with businesses of every size to get new technologies, product and processes to market fast.

As a long-term innovation partner to Airbus and their supply chain, we’re advancing next-generation composite wing technologies. Our work sets the foundation for what’s next. Deploying capabilities from material characterisation to flying parts manufacturing, we deliver industrialised and certifiable solutions for future flight.
Our dedicated SME team helped UK SME Limosaero Ltd unlock the potential of their Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) design concept through a low-cost rapid development route to manufacture of a product demonstrator. The UAV was used in a world-first outdoor ammonia sensor mapping demonstration with the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology.
We co-founded the national Hydrogen Skills Alliance and published the Strategic Skills Plan for the UK Hydrogen Economy. Our efforts include mapping the landscape of hydrogen skills, developing regional pilots for a Hydrogen Skills Academy and more.
In collaboration with the University of Bristol, we've developed high-performance composite materials that were tested on the International Space Station. The results will inform the design of future space structures, such as space stations & interplanetary spacecraft.
