Technopolis Group is also committed to creating social value, both within the assignments we undertake and for our team as a whole. We have a commitment to diversity through our Scholarship Programme for Black British Students at Sussex University and through our links with the university more broadly.

The UK team currently consists of 40 consultants, spread between offices in London and Brighton. We are a staff-owned company.

Our main business is the conduct of evaluations and other policy studies. We work across a number of areas, ranging from science & innovation to higher education, green economy, and health & life sciences, with technical expertise that spans the full extent of quantitative and qualitative social research methods. Assignments typically last from 6 months to several years and are delivered by small teams of 5-10 people. We also collaborate across our offices, as well as with specialist consultancies and academic experts around the world.

Our clients are predominantly public or third sector and include UK Research & Innovation, national Government departments, the European Commission, and other international funders and organizations.
