CTET’s four research themes are purposefully built on industry needs that are tuned towards growth, productivity and competitiveness. Within these themes, various research projects will be completed, through which students and postdoctoral researchers will be trained to drive ground-breaking technologies in order to support the current and future market needs of the sector. The business-focused projects provide the necessary background studies that will catalyse a highly productive commercialisation environment and aid the transition of SMEs into larger firms.
