Leading partners: up to three company groups with the most joint works in the sector. State-owned enterprises are marked; a partner whose name is withheld is not listed.
Funded partnerships (reported, not scored). 1,785 UK and EU projects starting 2021 to 2025 (1,014 UKRI, 771 Horizon) involve a cohort university and a company group whose main sector, by its verified joint works, is this one (420 universities): most often Thales, Airbus, Rolls-Royce, Johnson Matthey, BASF [group I4210107087]. Sources: UKRI Gateway to Research harvested 4 Oct 2026; CORDIS bulk files of 2026-10-12 (latest record update 2026-06-10). Funded partnerships cover UK (UKRI Gateway to Research) and EU (Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe, CORDIS) projects starting 2021 to 2025 only. They are reported, never scored, and a funder record outside these two sources is not visible here.
