The Centre for Process Innovation (CPI)

The Centre for Process Innovation is a UK-based technology innovation centre. It is a non-profit institute funded by the UK government, the private sector (through contract R&D services) and matched-funding EU projects.

The CPI's open innovation model enables clients to develop products and prove processes with minimal risk. By utilizing its proven assets and expertise, companies can take their products and processes to market faster. 

In 2014, The CPI announced the establishment of a new £14 million Graphene Applications Innovation Centre that will build on existing capabilities to provide facilities and expertise to help companies develop, prove, prototype and scale up graphene based products and processes.
