As a Research and Technology Organisation (RTO), our role is to work with a range of organisations to deliver products, services and programmes that will help shape and accelerate innovation within the transport industry, with a particular focus on rail.

In doing so, we have developed our very own framework for innovation; a model with four interdependent cogs – representing our core areas of focus – that must turn together for new, emerging, and existing industries to flourish.

Our model is completely scalable so that it can apply to any industry and also innovations at the system or component level.
