SSE became a business partner of Imperial College London in 2018 and the partnership has enabled us access to expertise which has informed our strategic decision making. The calibre of research and academic insight at Imperial has been consistently excellent and we have really benefited from the access that the partnership has given us to engage with Imperial’s academics.
