Work with Us

We want to offer likeminded companies and academic partners, the unique opportunity to work with our designers and technologists to investigate new solutions or new knowledge that will create pioneering products, systems and services or create alternatives to deliver enhanced user experiences.

We have three main routes of engagement, each of which can involve both industry and academia.

‘Imagineering studio-lab’

Based in Islington, London, this is where our P3i team will collaborate with partners on long range research initiatives through sensory applications, biomaterials explorations, ambient and interactive environments and emerging futures.

Over the last 6 months, we have begun to connect and share our thought with a number of key industry groups including Adidas; Philips; Unilever; Cytec; Electrolux; Merck; DSM; Audi; Airbus; Eurojersey; Nissan; Bayer; NASA

Open Innovation Culture

Our mission is to bring the far future to near future through demonstration and delivery.  Our expertise and equipment mean not only can we imagine the future but we can make the intangible tangible and then make it better. 

Education, Outreach and Public Engagement

We are an inclusive team and want to share our inspirations, insights and interventions with as many people as possible.  So we are developing a programme of activities which will include;

- Lectures and exhibitions
- Residencies
- Publications
- MPhil, MRes and Phd

For more information on any of the above or to discuss new opportunities to engage, please contact;
